current in Palestine in the century immediately preceding the Christian
era. For the Hebrew author of this book had before him a text that
in scores of passages is at variance with the Massorctic, and in many
passages is unquestionably earlier and purer. Of these various facts,
account has been duly taken in the notes, and the results have been
briefly summarised in the Introduction. An exhaustive treatment of this
and other questions connected with the Book of Jubilees will be given
in my Commentary on this book, which, I hope, will appear next year.

In conclusion, my best thanks are due to M. Delisle, Administrateur

INTRODUCTION.

I. The Book of Jubilees ; its Value and Original Language.

The Book of Jubilees, which is really a haggadic commentary on
Genesis, is important as being the chief and practically sole monument
of legalistic Pharisaism, belonging to the century immediately preceding
the Christian era. As we have the other side of Pharisaism — its apocalyptic
and mystical side — represented in the Book of Enoch, so here we
have its natural complement in the hard and inexorable legalism under
whose yoke, according to the author, creation was subject from the
beginning, and must be subject for evermore.

So sprung and conditioned, this book was naturally written in the
sacred language of Palestine. Of this we have direct testimony in Jerome,
Ep. lxxviii. ad Fabiolam, mansione 18, where he discusses a Hebrew word
for which he could cite no authority save that of this book. The entire
cast and idiom of the book confirms the statement of Jerome. We have
further testimony to the same effect in the title of the Syriac fragment
(printed in Appendix III), in which the present book is designated ' The
Hebrew Book called Jubilees.' It is, furthermore, impossible to deal with
the textual corruptions unless on this presupposition. In the case of many
of these it is only necessary to retranslate them into Hebrew in order to
discover the original misconception or misreading of the Greek translator.
Thus 10A>?: in xliii. n is absolutely unmeaning. If, however, we retrans-
late it by W or Iv ipoi, and this in turn by *?, the origin of the mistake is
evident. *? here, as in Gen. xliv. 18, = 8eo/-wu, pray; for the passage in
Jubilees is almost a verbal reproduction of Gen. xliv. 18. See also vi. 5 ;
xv. 26 ; xviii. 2 ; xxxi. 29 ; xxxix. 14 ; xlvii. 9.

Some interesting transliterations of Hebrew words, moreover, still
survive in the text. Thus in iv. 4 we find f«1: Dillmann not perceiving that
this was a corrupt transliteration of ^ naturally failed to find any meaning

b [II. 8.]

x THE BOOK OF JUBILEES.

in it {Lex. AetJi. col. 674) ; but as the passage is a reproduction of Gen.
iv. 14, the real origin and sense of V\\ are no longer open to doubt.
For other instances see xxxiii. 1 ; xl. 7.

Finally, fragments of the Hebrew original have come down to us
embedded in the Midrashim, which I have printed in Appendices I and II.
In these at times an entire sentence survives, preserving not only the words,
but actually their original order, as we can infer from the evidence of the
Versions. These Midrashim have naturally been helpful in the criticism
and restoration of the text (cf. x. 1 ; xxxviii. 2), as well as confirmatory
of emendations already made on the strength of other evidence (cf.
xxxviii. 10).

II. The Versions.

There were at least three, and there were probably four Versions of this
book. These were —

i. The Greek.

ii. The Syriac.

iii. The Ethiopic.

iv. The Latin.

The earliest Version was the Greek, and from it are derived the Ethiopic
and Latin Versions.

i. Of the Greek only some fragments have come down to us in
Epiphanius, in the Catena of Nicephorus, in the Scholia in Lagarde's
Greek MS. r of Genesis, and in such annalists as Syncellus, Cedrenus, and
Glycas. All such fragments have been cited in full when in any way
helpful to the criticism of the text. See pp. 5, 7, 9, 36, &c.

ii. The fragment printed in Appendix III points most probably to a
Syriac Version as its source. That this Version was made directly from the
Hebrew original would be not an unreasonable inference from the title of
the fragment, ' the Names of the Wives of the Patriarchs according to the
Hebrew Book called Jubilees.' The fact that we find the Greek word
arahiov transliterated yo?}^£D, does not make against this conclusion. Many
Greek words had already gained an entrance into Hebrew nearly two centuries
before the composition of Jubilees, and the word in question was probably
early naturalised in Syriac as it is a familiar word in that literature.

iii. The Ethiopic Version, which alone preserves the original in its
entirety, or almost in its entirety, is made directly from the Greek Version.
This was to be expected on other grounds, as well as to be inferred from

INTRODUCTION. xi

the fact that many corruptions of the Ethiopic text are explicable only
from the confusion of like Greek words by the Ethiopic translator, or from
his misapprehending the meaning of the Greek word before him, or finally
from an already existing corruption in the Greek Version. Cf. xiv. 12;
xxiv. 3 ; xxxi. 18, 29 ; xxxii. 4, 26, 27; xxxiii. 20 ; xxxviii. 12; xlvii. 5.

From an exhaustive comparison of the best attainable text of the
Ethiopic Version with all existing materials, it becomes clear that this
Version is most accurate and trustworthy. It is indeed as a rule servilely
literal. It has, of course, suffered from the corruptions naturally incident
to transmission through MSS., but it is singularly free from the glosses and
corrections of unscrupulous scribes, though the temptation must have been
great to bring it into accord with the Ethiopic Version of Genesis. Only
in the following instances did the temptation prove too great, and changes
were introduced into the text in subservience to that Version : see notes on
iii. 6 ; iv. 28 ; vii. 8 (add to note in loc. ' and Eth.Vers.' after ' except LXX ');
xiv. 14 (see Addenda); xv. 12; xvii. 12; xxiv. 1 (see Addenda), 10 (see
Addenda), 18 (see Addenda), 19; xxvi. 25, 31 (see Addenda); xxviii. 29
(see Addenda).

iv. The Latin Version, of which about one-fourth has been preserved,
was first published by Ceriani in his Monumenta sacra et prof ana, Mediol.
1861, Tom. i. Fasc. 1, pp. 15-62. It was next edited with great learning by
Ronsch in 1874, Das Buck der Jubilden unter Beifiigung des revidirten
Textes der . . . lateinischen Fragmente. With enormous industry Ronsch
accumulated materials from every quarter, and though he made but little
critical use of these himself, he has undoubtedly lightened the labours of
subsequent scholars. His Latin text is disfigured with many corruptions,
which I have been at pains to remove so far as possible; and his work,
however learned, is strangely wanting in reasonable order and method.
It has no perspective ; things, good, bad, and indifferent are thrust with
equal emphasis on the attention of the weary and indignant student.
He has, nevertheless, done much to merit our gratitude, and we may with
safety accept his conclusions that this Version was made in Egypt or
its neighbourhood by a Palestinian Jew, about the middle of the fifth
century (pp. 459-460). When, however, he proceeds to maintain the
superiority of the Latin to the Ethiopic Version, he labours under a mis-
apprehension from which a more thorough knowledge of the relations of
this Version to the LXX and Vulgate of Genesis would have saved him.
For this Version has been corrected in conformity with the LXX in

xxiv. 20; xxix. 13 ; xlii. 11 ; xlvi. 13 ; xlvii. 7 (twice), 8 ; xlix. 9 (twice) :

in the two following passages, xix. 14 (cf. Eth. Vers. Gen. xxv. 27) ; xxxix.
13 (cf. Eth. Vers. Gen. xxxix. 23). Besides labouring under numerous
corruptions, this Version is often defective, and its frequent omissions
through homeoteleuton are quite in keeping with the carelessness of its
transcribers. It must be conceded in Dr. Ronsch's favour, that his
criticism of the respective merits of the Ethiopic and Latin Versions is
not so reprehensible when we reflect that for three-fourths of the former
Version he had no better authority than a German translation of one
corrupt MS. Despite its many defects, however, the Latin Version is of
incalculable worth in the criticism and restoration of the Ethiopic Version,
for its corruptions seldom coincide with those of that Version. For its
value in this respect we must refer to Section IV. iv. on the Materials
for Criticism.

We have given a critically revised text of these fragments on the pages
facing their Ethiopic parallels.

III. The Ethiopic MSS.

These manuscripts are four in number, designated in the following
pages as A B C D, and belong respectively to the National Library
in Paris, the British Museum, the University Library at Tubingen, and to
M. d'Abbadie.

A. The official description of this beautiful MS. in the Catalogue
of the Bibliotheque Nationale is as follows: 'Velin. no feuillets. 285
millimetres sur 210. Ecriture sur deux colonnes, du xve siecle. 23 a 25
lignes par page.' Some of the folios have got transposed : le folio 19 doit
etre place a la suite du folio 25 ; le folio ^ a la place du folio 40 ; et
le folio 40 a la place du folio ^. Its official number in the Catalogue is
Eth. 51,

This MS. preserves an ancient type of the text, which in a corrected
and more corrupt form appears in D. It constantly combines with B
against the later readings, interpolations, and omissions in C D. Unfor-
tunately, however, its scribe toiled hard to bring it into harmony with the
Ethiopic Version of Genesis. Thus in the following passages the readings
of the Eth. Vers, of Genesis have replaced the original text against BCD:

INTRODUCTION. xm

iii. 4, 6, 7, 19, 29 ; iv. 4, 8 ; v. 3 ; vi. 9 ; xiv. 4, 18 ; xviii. 6, 10, 15 (where
for (titd: A reads £*C: with Eth.Vers. Gen. xxii. 16); xlii. 18.

The orthography of A is of an ancient type as compared with the
normalised texts of C D. But to this subject we shall return later.

B. This valuable MS., belonging to the British Museum, is written on
vellum about 8| inches by 7*. It contains 190 folios: each page has
two columns of 23 or 24 lines. It belongs to the earlier part of the
sixteenth century. Its official number in the British Museum Catalogue
is Orient. 485.

This MS. is the most valuable of the four. As a rule it agrees with A
against CD; C is more nearly related to it than D. Frequently it
preserves the true reading against A C D, as for instance in xxxii. 12 and
xxxiv. 11, where B gives words which are aira£ Xeyojxtva, A simply omits
and C D attempt to replace them by commonplace terms. It is almost
wholly free from corrections from without. I can only find two instances
of this nature: in xv. 15, where it is corrected from the Eth.Vers. Gen.
xvii. 15, and xxxiii. 20, where it seems to be influenced either by Rev. v. 10
or 1 Pet. ii. 9. The entire Version, however, was corrected from the Eth.
Vers, in certain passages at an early date. See Section II. iii.

C. This MS., which is preserved in the University Library of Tubingen,
is, according to Dillmann's description, ' chartaceus, formae quartae, lxxx
foliorum, cura Rev. J. L. Krapff ab ejus amanuensi in Abyssinia neglegen-
tius transscriptus.' It is more nearly allied to B than A, but is separated
in point of worth from both by a tremendous interval. Where its readings
are of real or possible value they are cited in the notes ; in a few cases
they have been followed in the text against A B.

D. This MS., belonging to M. d'Abbadie, is, according to Dillmann,
' membranaceus, formae quartae maximae clxiii foliorum, paginis in ternas
columnas divisis, una manu eleganter exaratus . . . Hoc novissimo saeculo
vix antiquior esse videtur.' As regards its value he continues : ' ingenti et
vitiorum et mendorum numero laborat, et Tubingensi vix melius censendum
est.' In this verdict we heartily concur, save that we must correct it by adding
that D preserves an inferior type of text to C. In two or three instances D
is followed against A B, and in a larger number C D against A B.

C and D labour under all the ills incident to MSS. Their omissions
and additions are to be found on every page ; they are emended from the
Eth. Vers, of Genesis ; their corrections are not unfrequently quite alien to
the text : occasionally their additions result in conflate readings. Ancient

linguistic forms are replaced by later ; and the text is, so to speak, modern-
ised and normalised.

I have arrived at these conclusions on C D after an exhaustive
comparison of their readings with the Greek, Latin, and other fragmentary
Versions of Jubilees ; and as a result of this study, I have decided on
recording their variants only occasionally. My knowledge of C and D is
due to Dillmann's edition.

The text that follows is based on A B, A, or B, unless in occasional
instances where C D, C, or D may be preferable. In all cases the readings
of A and B are given either in the text or in the notes. Those of C D are
always cited when they are of any value, and often when they are merely
curious. To obviate possible misunderstanding, my method is as follows:
when C is cited D is also cited, and vice versa. If a variant is given
in a note followed by A, the reader is to understand that B is followed in
the text. As a rule, account is not taken of C D ; but should the variant
in the note be followed by C, it would mean that A B D support the text,
or by D that ABC support the text, or by C D that A B do so.

IV. Further Materials for the Criticism and Emendation

of the Text.

The result of the comparison of the Ethiopic Version with the above
materials has been frequently to confirm the genuineness of the text,
where an editor would have been inclined to attribute its apparently
erratic and isolated readings to corruption pure and simple, or else to the
blunders or corrections of scribes or translators. But the more closely the
text is studied, the more irresistibly the conviction dawns upon us that the
original text of Jubilees possessed an independent value of its own, agreeing
at times with the Mass. against the Sam., at times with the Sam. in
conjunction with the LXX or other Versions against the Mass., frequently
with the LXX, occasionally with the Syriac, Vulgate, and even Targum of
Onkelos respectively against all else. But for a full discussion of its
affinities we must refer to Section VII.

By means of the following materials I have been able frequently to see
the true text underlying superficial and deep-seated corruptions. Of these,
some are peculiar to the Ethiopic text, or to the Ethiopic translator ; some
are native to the Greek Version from which the Ethiopic was translated,
or are owing to misconceptions of the Greek translator. At the end of the

INTRODUCTION. xv

enumeration of each class of materials I have added a number of the
emendations made on the strength of their evidence.

i. Hebrew. In Hebrew we have the following materials for the criticism
and restoration of the text : the Mass. and Sam. texts of the Pentateuch ;
the Samaritan Version ; the Targum of Onkelos ; the Midrashim printed
in Appendices I, II ; a list of Hebrew names drawn from Jubilees in Algazi's
Hebrew Chronicle.

By means of the received Massoretic text we have been enabled to emend
corruptions in our text in the following passages : i. 3 ; iv. 28 ; vii. 9, ro, 18,
19; xiii. 5 ; xiv. 17 ; xv. 10 ; xix. 5 ; xxiii. 7 ; xxviii. 20, 27; xxxi. 2 ;
xliii. 11 ; xliv. 21 ; xlvii. 9. By means of the Midrashim in x. 1 ; xxxviii.
2, 10. Algazi's Chronicle is quoted for critical purposes on pp. 18, 37, &c.
The Targum of Onkelos is valuable in confirming readings of the text
where it varies decidedly from the main authorities in conformity with this
Targum; cf. xiii. 20, 25; xv. 17.

The following passages have been emended from the Massoretic text :
ii. 21 from Deut. vii. 6; xx. 6 from Jer. xxix. 18; xxi. 8, ii from Lev.
iii. 10 and ii. 13 respectively; xxiii. 28 from Is. lxv. 20.

ii. Syriac. In Syriac we have the Syriac Version of the Pentateuch
and the Syriac fragment printed in Appendix III. As regards the latter,
we must refer the reader to this Appendix. In the following passages the
text is substantiated by the Syriac Version in its divergence from the Mass.,
Sam., LXX,Vulg., and Onk. : xii. 15 ; xvi. 31 ; xxii. 13(4- Arab.), 30 ( + Eth.
Vers. Gen.); xxiv. 4, 9 ( + Eth. Vers. Gen.); xliii. 21; xlv. 13; xlvii. 7.

iii. Greek. In Greek we have the LXX Pentateuch ; the fragments of
the Greek Version preserved in Epiphanius (printed on pp. 5, 7, 9) ; in the
Catena of Nicephorus (on p. 0,6) ; in Syncellus, Cedrenus, Glycas ; in the
Scholia of the LXX MS. Lagarde r; the Test, xii Patriarchs.

By means of the LXX I have emended xiv. 12 ; xxiv. 3 ; by means of
the fragments in Epiphanius, ii. 2 (four times), 7, 1 1 ; in Catena of Nicephorus,
x. 21 (three times) ; by Syncellus, x. 1 ; by Cedrenus, xi. 2 ; by Schol.
Lagarde r, viii. 5 ; by Test, xii Patriarchs, xii. 12.

This list gives a wholly inadequate idea of the value of the Greek
materials, for these are of constant service in the determination and
interpretation of the text.

iv. Latin. In Latin we have the Vulgate ; the extensive Latin frag-
ments which we have discussed above, II. iv ; Jerome's Ep. ad Fab.;
Quaest. Hebr. in Gen.

xvi THE BOOK OF JUBILEES.

By means of the Latin fragments we have emended the text in the
following passages: xiii. 15, 18; xv. 22, 24; xvi. 6, 16, 18, 23; xix. 5, 10,
11, 13; xx. 6, 9, 10, 13; xxii. 3, 14, 18; xxiii. 8, 10, 11, 14, 15, 21; xxiv.
19, 20, 26, 29, 31; xxvi. 10, 13, 21, 22; xxix. 11, 13, 20; xxx. 11, 15;
xxxii. 4, 29; xxxiii. 3; xxxviii. 1; xxxix. 12; xli. 12, 14, 15; xlii. 4;
xlv. 10, 12 ; xlvi. 13 ; xlviii. 1 ; xlix. 13.

v. Ethiopic. In Ethiopic we have the Ethiopic Version of Genesis
and the Ethiopic text of Enoch. By means of the latter we have emended
the text in vii. 24, and been enabled in other passages to single out the
true reading when the MS. evidence was of a conflicting nature. The
former is of value chiefly in determining the degree in which the Version
as a whole and the different MSS. have preserved themselves from its
influence. This question is discussed in Sections II. iii. and III.

V. The Resultant Ethiopic Text.

The text represented in the following pages is based mainly on A B,
or on A or B, and on the latter more than the former, but in a few
isolated passages on C D, or on C or D. The respective merits and
defects of these MSS. have been determined by an exhaustive comparison
of each with the rest, as well as with the various critical materials
enumerated in Section IV. In the process of criticism we have succeeded
in discovering and eliminating the various instances in which they have
been prejudicially influenced by the Ethiopic Version of Genesis. In the
case of B, we have found that this influence has hardly been at work at all
as compared with A C D. By the further application of the critical
process we have been able to eliminate those instances in which all the
MSS. have been tampered with, owing to the influence of the Ethiopic
Version of Genesis (Section II. iii). Having thus discounted this source
of corruption, and having further been able, as we became more thoroughly
saturated with the idioms and modes of thought in the work and its
kindred literature, to remove successively a large proportion of the corrupt-
ions native to the Ethiopic Version, we arrived at a stage where a fresh
comparison of the text thus attained with the various critical materials
already mentioned, at once issued in the most fruitful results, both as
regards the primitive text of our Version and the relations of its Hebrew
original to the Mass. and Sam. texts, the LXX, Syriac and Vulgate
Versions, and the Targum of Onkelos.

INTRODUCTION. xvii

In this fresh application of criticism to our materials we advanced
steadily upwards through the centuries towards the primitive text of the
Ethiopic Version, removing successively on our way the main part of the
corruptions that in our earlier progress had defied solution, till at last in the
ultimate stages of this process we could pass confidently beyond the limits
of the Ethiopic, Latin, and Greek Versions, and determine with tolerable
certainty the position occupied by the Hebrew original of Jubilees in relation
to the best Texts and Versions of Genesis. See Sections VII and VIII.

VI. Dillmann's Ethiopic Text and its later Revisions.

avftthb'. h-4A: sive Liber Jubilaeornm. Aethiopice ad duorum librorum
mannscriptorum fidem primum cdidit Dr. A. Dillmann. 1859. To Dillmann
belongs the honour of first editing the text from two MSS., i.e. C D,
of which we have given the leading characteristics above. It will be
obvious to the reader that it would be impossible to attain to any
satisfactory result in a work based on such materials. So far, therefore,
many shortcomings in his text are not only excusable but inevitable. But
when we proceed from the question of materials to method, we cannot but
regard him as most reprehensible. He acted emphatically therein as
a scholar in a hurry. Dealing with a text which was explicitly and
unmistakeably a commentary on Genesis, he has not — save in a single
solitary instance — adduced the evidence of the Mass. or Sam. texts, or of
the LXX, Syr., or Vulgate Versions in order to remove the blemishes that
deface every page of the MSS. on which he worked. Furthermore, the
Book of Jubilees, as every student of Fabricius should have known, did
not leave itself without many witnesses among the Fathers and Byzantine
writers (cf. Fabric. Cod. Pseudepigr. Vet. Test. i. 849-864, ii. 120 sq.), and
yet not a single fragment of these has been laid under contribution for the
criticism of the text. In fact, of all the long list of critical authorities
enumerated in Section IV, only one, and that in a single instance (i. e. LXX
Gen. xv. 2 on p. $$ of his text), is used for critical or other purposes.
Of these authorities the Latin and Syriac fragments were still of course
unknown, but there were sufficient materials available for the construction
of a text that would have commanded the respect of later critics.

In the absence, therefore, of any objective critical standard, it is not
strange that this text should constantly appear arbitrary and subjective ;
nor will it provoke surprise that the editor rejects the better reading almost

xviii THE BOOK OF JUBILEES.

as frequently as he follows it, and likewise edits, without remark, unintel-
ligible passages where a reference to the text of Genesis would at once have
explained the corruption. See xliii. it as compared with Gen. xliv. 8.

Possibly through inadvertence, Dillmann has left many ungrammatical
passages untouched, as on pp. 33. 53, 60 (twice), 64, 65 (twice), 73, 76, 118,
134, 153, 154. The list of corrigenda might with advantage have easily
been enlarged ; but I do not press these defects in execution, as accuracy
is a thing so difficult to attain. It is the wrongness of his method that
constitutes ' the head and front of his offending.'

But in later years Dillmann sought to atone for the inadequacy of his
Ethiopic text, and in 1874 he contributed to Ronsch's edition of the Latin
fragments a Latin rendering of the Ethiopic text corresponding to these
fragments. It is worthy of note that this Latin rendering of Dillmann was
not made from the Ethiopic text of 1859, but in reality from a revised
form of this text, the revision being in the main carried out on the lines
suggested by the fragments of the Latin Version. It is not incumbent
upon us here to deal with this contribution to the criticism of the text
further than to refer to a Review in the JezvisJi Quarterly, July 1893,
pp. 703-708, where the present editor criticised the contribution in
question, and showed from a detailed examination ' that every page we
examine of the revised Ethiopic text, presupposed by Dillmann's Latin
translation, contains many corrupt readings where the demonstrably true
reading is preserved by A B, or A, or B in agreement with the Latin
Version ; and that, in not a few cases, his revised text is disfigured by cor-
ruptions that admit of easy and at times demonstrably certain emendation.'

Once again Dillmann dealt with the criticism of the Ethiopic text
in an Article entitled ' Beitrage aus dem Buch der Jubilaen zur Kritik
des Pentateuch-Textes,' in the Sitzungsberichte der koniglich Pretissischen
Akademie der Wissenschaften zu Berlin, 1883, pp. 323-340.

In this Article, which I purposely refrained from perusing till my
entire text was in print, he cites some readings from the Ethiopic MS. B,
of which he had procured a collation, and justly recognises its superiority
within the limited field in which he uses it. For the first time in his
study of Jubilees he proceeds here beyond the limits of the text itself
in search of critical materials. First of all, he quotes a number of parallel
passages from Jubilees, the Massoretic text, and the LXX, in order
to show by the agreement of the first with the second and its disagree-
ment with the third, that the author of the book had the Hebrew text

INTRODUCTION. xix

and not the LXX before him. In the next place he rightly remarks
that many of the passages, where Jubilees diverges from the Massoretic
text and agrees with the LXX, may no doubt be consciously due to the
Greek translator, who could not help at times rendering the text in the
familiar language of the LXX; that others maybe ascribed to the influence
of the LXX, though in following it the translator did so unconsciously ;
and that others again may be attributed to the traditional exegesis of the
time from the trammels of which the author could not easily disengage
himself. But Dillmann had a grossly exaggerated view of the number
of readings peculiar to the LXX and Jubilees ; for many of these had
been introduced into the Ethiopic texts of Jubilees from the Ethiopic
Version, and many that he thought peculiar to the LXX and Jubilees
are supported by other authorities, and others again are due to the
corruptness of his MSS. C and D.

Dillmann next deals with those cases where Jubilees presupposes a text
diverging from the Massoretic. In this connection he collates the
Samaritan text and frequently the LXX, and makes some emendations
in which I am glad to find a confirmation of my own judgment. But
after all he merely touches on the fringe of the subject. Of multitudes
of instances where our text shows special affinities with the various texts
and Versions of the Pentateuch, or conversely where it exhibits strong
lines of divergence from them, no account at all is taken, and even in the
cases considered the critical treatment is inadequate. Thus he never cites
for critical purposes the Syriac Version with which the Jubilees' text stands
frequently in the closest relation, hardly ever the Vulgate, and never the
Targum of Onkelos, though some of the apparent idiosyncrasies of our
text are unintelligible apart from them.

To sum up. In this Article Dillmann's treatment of the independent
value of the Ethiopic text is good as far as it goes, but very inadequate,
while as regards the text itself no real advance is made by means of B
towards recovering a purer tradition. Thus the text is left pretty much
as it stands in his edition of 1859. Such a neglect of evidence must
naturally have its nemesis, and so we find Dillmann tracing textual
affinities and divergencies in relation to the texts and Versions of the
Pentateuch where none such exist, save in the corrupt MSS. on which
his text is based. In the rest of the Article he discusses in a masterly way
the chronological questions arising out of the Book of Jubilees. With
these I hope to deal in my Commentary later.

xx THE BOOK OF JUBILEES.

Thus, though to Dillmann belongs the credit of first calling attention
to the importance of our text in the criticism of the Massoretic Pentateuch,
we cannot help observing how inadequately he has supported this con-
tention— in the first place by failing to discover the cases that make most
strongly in his favour, and in the next by failing to substantiate such
instances as he does advance by the collation of other authorities. In
Section VIII I have tried to marshal the evidence with such a fulness
and thoroughness as to beget the hope that I may escape the scope of
such strictures.

VII. The Affinities of the Text of the Book of Jubilees.

We shall now summarise with sufficient fulness, though not exhaustively,
the affinities of the Jubilees' text with the texts and Versions of the
Pentateuch. Each of these texts and Versions, while agreeing in the main
with the rest, exhibits from time to time a reading peculiar to itself and
wanting in attestation from without. To these idiosyncrasies of the Penta-
teuch Texts and Versions we have paid particular attention, with a view to
determining the affinities of the Jubilees' text, and the result has been
most fruitful both in other respects as well as in settling an old controversy.
For as a result of this continuous comparison, we find that our text agrees
in turn with the Massoretic, LXX, Syriac, Vulgate, with Onkelos, and even
once with the Arabic against all the rest, but never, strange to say, with
the Samaritan save in the case of a single doubtful reading — and even here
the balance of evidence is decidedly against the Samaritan affinity. See
additional note on p. 184, beginning, ' On p. 97 add &c.' This fact in itself
makes the theory of Samaritan authorship henceforth untenable, and thus
closes another chapter of criticism.

In the rest of this Section no account will be taken of the many
instances in which the text of Jubilees pursues a path peculiar to itself.
We shall here confine ourselves to classifying its affinities, or points in
common, with the main authorities on the Pentateuch. For details, the
notes and Addenda must be consulted.

i. First, as to its agreement with individual authorities in opposition to

It agrees with LXX, Vulg., and Onk. against Mass., Sam., Syr. in xv.

As for the passages in i. that in i (a), where the Mass. and Jub. agree in
omitting the ol bvo of the LXX, is probably right, though the latter is sup-
ported by the Sam., Syr., Vulg. Many of the readings in i (/3) are due to
the Greek translator, who would at times give unconsciously renderings from
the familiar text of the LXX ; others would spring from the traditional
exegesis of the time, and this source would go far to account for those in
i (y) and (e).

INTRODUCTION. xxui

VIII. The Value of the Book of Jubilees in the Criticism of

THE MASSORETIC TEXT OF THE PENTATEUCH.

From a study of the preceding Section it will be clear that both
before and after the Christian era the Hebrew text did not possess any-
hard and fast tradition. It will further be obvious that the Massoretic
form of this text, which has so long been generally assumed as conservative
of the most ancient tradition and as therefore final, is after all only one of
the many phases through which the text passed in the process of over
i,ooo years, i.e. 400 B.C. till 600 a.d. or thereabouts.

As we pursue the examination of the materials just mentioned we shall
see grounds for regarding the Massoretic text as the result partly of
conscious recension and partly of unconscious change extending over
many centuries. How this process affected the text in the centuries
immediately preceding and subsequent to the Christian era, we have
some means of determining in the Hebrew-Samaritan text which, how-
ever much it may have been tampered with on religious or polemical
grounds, still preserves in many cases the older reading even as it preserves
the older form of alphabet. Next we have the LXX Pentateuch, to which
we may assign the date 200 B.C.; next the Book of Jubilees just before
the Christian era; the Syriac Pentateuch before 100 A. D. (so Rendel Harris
on good grounds) ; the Vulgate of the fourth century ; the Targums of
Onkelos and Ps.-Jon. in their present form 300-600 A.D.

We have above remarked that the evidence of Section VII shows that
the Massoretic text is only one of the phases through which the Hebrew
text has passed ; and if we consider afresh the materials of evidence in that
Section in connection with their dates, we shall discover that in some
respects it is one of the latest phases of the Hebrew Pentateuch that has
been stereotyped by Jewish scholars in the Massoretic text. This con-
clusion will tally perfectly with the tradition that all existing Massoretic
MSS. are derived in the main from one archetype, i.e. the Hebrew Codex
left behind him by Ben Asher, who lived in the tenth century, and whose
family had lived at Tiberias in the eighth.

Before passing to our main object in this Section we might point out
that some of the readings enumerated in ii (y) in the last Section can
hardly go back to an earlier date than the fourth century A.D.

We shall now proceed to give a list of readings in the Massoretic text

which should be corrected into accord with the readings attested by such
great authorities as the Sam., LXX, Jub., Syr., Vulg. :

In viii. 19 for tetfft bb cjiyn-^l fc^n^a njnrri>3 we should read *|ton-^ n>nn-^3
b'Diin C^cnrrbsi with the Sam., Sam. Vers., Jub., Vulg. {omnia atiimaniia
jumenla el reptilia quae replant super terram), and Arabic. The LXX and
Syr. confirm our emendation (see note 29, p. 21). Hence Onk. only
supports the Massoretic. The restoration is confirmed by Gen. i. 26, where
the very combination B't?iin ETJin is actually found.

In xi. 8 after 1*jjn add ^Brn with Sam., LXX, and Jub. (x. 24) against Mass.
and Vulg.

In xi. 31 DFW ^¥M we have a reading that should be emended in DON KJf*l with

Only Onk. supports the Massoretic.

In xii. 3 for H^B* read T$B» with Sam-> LXX> Jub- (xii- 23)> Syr-> Vulg- The

reading of the Mass. is the first movement in the change of plurals into singulars,

national hatred, B*BDv DJ? 'nation of robbers.'

IX. Orthography of the Text and Contributions to the
Ethiopic Grammar and Lexicon.

In the following text I have reproduced as closely as possible, save
in the case of manifest errors, the orthography of A B. As a rule there
is a wide latitude in this respect ; and of this, these MSS. fully avail them-
selves. In the case of the variants in the notes, on the other hand, I have
given the readings of the MSS., however vicious they may be in orthography
or grammar, in order to convey to the reader as true a conception as
possible of the state of their text.

d [II. 8.]

xxvi THE BOOK OF JUBILEES.

Much of the value of these MSS. lies in their preservation of ancient
forms and words which have either omitted or normalised in such later
MSS. as C D.

Thus they read f-^Ci as a rule instead of £rtt-C: and iHCi instead of
(h>C; These forms are acknowledged in Dillmann's Lexicon, but the MSS.
attest other ancient forms which have no recognition either in his Grammar
or Lexicon. Thus more often than otherwise they write X, and not h, as
the preformative in the ist plural of the causative conjugation, and I have
edited accordingly. Praetorius in his most valuable little Grammar does
notice this other possible form (pp. 17, 51), but there is no hint of it in
Dillmann's Grammar or Lexicon. Another form of inflection not
acknowledged by Dillmann and given in brackets by Praetorius is found
in AHffiiL: in A (xxxv. 2) for the usual hWHtii.: which I have edited.

Again, in xliii. 2, 10 I have edited with B (\d^\ia^*i for the usual
ftdbav: and with A B (Dkh-afc for the usual <Dh.£<lfc in xli. 2. Like
unusual forms are given in B xxv. 4 ; xxx. 4 (see notes). In addition
to a few noted by Dillmann in the Pentateuch I have remarked two
further cases in Bachmann's Ethiopic Edition of Mai. i. 10, 13.

Again, as regards the analysis of the conjugations of the verb,
Dillmann's scheme is quite inadequate, and fails to take account of many
forms of conjugation which I have edited in deference to A B, and ^>r
the justification of which I must refer the student to Praetorius' masterly
work, which is as exhaustive in this respect as could be desired.

Dillmann's Grammar and Lexicon are based mainly on late and
normalised MSS. In the case of the Lexicon — a work which, under the
circumstances, is beyond all praise — this will not on the whole affect
the advanced student, as he will be able to discount such shortcomings,
but in the case of the Grammar it is a distinct evil.

Dillmann's statement {Grammatik, p. 363) in reference to the construct
case — man kann darum kein anderes Wort zwischen die beiden im st. c. —
Verhaltniss stehenden einschieben — is not true if taken without qualification;
for as a matter of fact demonstrative pronouns, the pronominal adjective
ftfr: and numerals may intervene between the construct case and its
dependent noun. Thus in the last instance the construct case may be
separated from its dependent noun by half a dozen of numerals written
in full. In his Chrestomathy xv-xvi Dillmann adduces two instances
found in liturgical literature as exceptions to his rule, but they are not
of the nature of the above.

INTRODUCTION. xxvii

Finally, among other additions and corrections that should be made
in Dillmann's Lexicon we add the following : —

On col. 88 add chCA'. = hostia, vidima, Jub. xxi. 7.

On col. 312 expunge identification of <J«H; with oryza in the case of Jub. xxxvii. 23,

where <J-H; = a white bird. <J«H: was never a transliteration of oryza. See

Amharic Lexicons of Isenberg and HaleVi in loc.
On col. 424 add ^u^C\=frigidus, Jub. viii. 29.
On col. 590 under tdi.; = collegit fructus, which Din. gives as an unused root,

add Jub. xxxii. 12, where it is found in the infinitive.
On col. 936 under (D£L\ which Din. gives as an unused root, add Jub. ix. 3.
On col. 989 under °70'N1: in the sense of brachiale, for which Din. can cite

no authority but Ludolfs Lex., add Jub. xl. 7.
On col. 1050 under Hft?: add ii. 2 fiHCl&P: = vendidernnt eum, Jub. xxxiv. n.

Cf. Tigre Vocabulary under Hfl»; This causative conjugation is not given in

Dillmann's Lexicon.
On col. 1398 under 2(\; to which Dillmann can assign no meaning, add P(\; =

tores valde et immundi, spurcitias exercentes in carnibus suis et facientes
abominationes super terram. Ita enim faciet Deus judicium in locis, 6
ubicumque fecerint abominationis Sodomorum1, *sicut judicavit2 illos.
Et Loth liberavimus3 inde, propter quod memor fuit Deus Abrahae, ut 7
liberaret4 eum de medio eversionis. Etenim fecit ipse et filiae5 ejus 8
iniquitatem super terram, qualis non est facta in [tota] terra a diebus
Adam6 usque ipsum7, ut dormiret homo cum filiabus suis. Etenim ecce 9
demandatum est et scriptum8 in omne semen in tabulis caeli, ut aufer-
antur et exterminentur tales9 et ut fiat judicium ipsorum secundum
judicium Sodomorum1, ut non derelinquatur *in ipsis10 omne semen
hominis in terra in die judicii. Et in mense hoc exivit Abraham io
a Cebron et abiit et inhabitavit inter medium Cades et Sur in finibus
Gerarorum11. Et in medio mensis quinti transtulit se inde et habi- "
tavit secus puteum jurationis. Et in medio mensis sexti visitavit Deus12 u

Abraham, in diem festum primitivorum natus est Isac. Et circumcidit '4
Abraham nlium suum octavo die : hie primus circumcisus est secundum
testamentum dispositum in saecula. Et in anno sexto septimanae14 15
quartae15 adfuimus ad Abraham secus puteum jurationis et visi sumus illi,
sicut dixeramus Sarrae quoniam reverti haberemus ad earn et ipsa16 con-
ceptum haberet filium [suum]. Et reversi sumus in mense septimo et 16
invenimus Sarram conceptum habentem in conspectu nostro : et bene-
diximus eum et indicavimus illi quaecumque decreta sunt ei (et) quomodo
(non) esset moriturus quoad17 generaret adhuc sex filios, et videbit (eos
omnes) priusquam moriatur ; sed in Isac18 vocabitur nomen (ejus et

aepulans in toto corde suo et in omni anima sua, ipse et universi domes-
tici sui, et omnis alienus non erat cum ipsis et omnis (qui non) circum-
cisus. Et benedixit creatorem suum, qui creavit ilium (in familia ipsius, 26
quia in beneplacito suo creavit eum) : quia cognovit et scivit quia ex
ipso erit plantatio veritatis in generationibus aeternis et ex ipso semen

et benedixit Deum, quia vidit sibi filios et non est defunctus sine filiis.
Et memor fuit sermones quos locutus est ei in die qua segregavit se 3

hereditet earn, et benedixit toto ore suo qui creavit universa. Et vidit 4
Sarra Ismael ludentem *cum Isac11 et Abraham gaudentem gaudio magno

Et vocavit (Dominus) Abraham nomine suo secundo de caelo, quia 14
fuimus3 ut loquamur illi nomine Domini. Et dixit: Per me ipsum juravi, 15
dicit Dominus, propter quod fecisti sermonem istum et non pepercisti filio

te et multiplicans multiplicabo semen tuum (ut) Stellas caeli et sicut hare-

adversariorum ejus. Et benedicentur in semine tuo omnes gentes terrae, 16
propter quod obaudisti voci meae, et ego manifestavi omnibus quoniam
fidelis es mihi in omnibus quae dixi tibi. Ambula7 in pace. Et abiit 17

*septimanae tertiae1 jubilei hujus conpleti sunt dies vitae Sarrae et mortua
est in Chebron. Et advenit Abraham ut plangeret earn (et sepeliret earn) : 3
et temptavimus eum, si patiens esset spiritus ejus et non indignans2 in
verbis oris sui : et inventus est et in hoc patientissimus et non est
conturbatus. Quoniam in longanimitate spiritus locutus est cum filiis 4
Geth, ut dent i 11 i locum, ubi sepelliat mortuum suum in eum. Et dedit 5
Deus gratiam ei in conspectu omnium videntium eum, et depraecatus
est in mansuetudine a filiis Geth, et dederunt ei agrum spelei duplicis 3,
quod est contra faciem Mambre, haec est Chebron, quadringentis denariis.
Et (hoc) postulaverunt ab eo dicentes : Dabimus tibi gratis : et non 6
accepit de manibus eorum gratis, quoniam dedit praetium loci, pecuniam
conplentem4, et adoravit eos bis et post haec sepellivit mortuum suum in
speleo duplici. Et facti sunt dies omnes vitae Sarrae septem et viginti 7
et centum anni, id est, duos jubeleos septimanas quattuor et [minus]
unum annum : hii sunt dies vitae Sarrae. Haec temptatio decima, in 8
qua (tentatus est) *in ipsa Abraham et inventus est5 fidelis *(et) longanimis6
spiritu. Et (non) dixit sermonem pro sermone terrae, sicut dixit7 Deus 9
dare illi earn et semini ejus post eum, et locum petiit8 *ab eis9, ut sepel-
liret mortuum suum: quoniam inventus est fidelis et scriptus10 est amicus
Dei in tabulis caeli. Et in anno quarto ipsius accepit Abraham Isac filio suo 10
mulierem — et nomen ejus Rebecca, filia Bathuel, filii Nachor fratris Abraham
— sororem Labae, filiam Bathuel, et Bathuel filius erat Make, mulieris
Nachor fratris Abraham. Et Abraham accepit sibi mulierem tertiam, n
et nomen ei Cetturra, de filiabus domesticorum suorum, eo quod mortua11
esset Agar prius quam Sarra. Et peperit illi sex filios, Jebram et Jectam 12
et Madan et Madiam et Sobec et Oe, in duabus12 septimanis13 annorum.
Et in sexta14 septimana13 anni ipsius secundi peperit Rebecca Isac duos 13

filios, Esau et Jacob. Et erat Jacob levis1 et rectus, et Esau erat durus
et vir rusticanus et pilosus, et Jacob habitans in tabernaculis. * Et creve- 14
runt juvenes2 ; et didicit Jacob litteras et Esau non didicit, quoniam
homo erat agrestis et venator3, sed didicit bellum, et universa opera ejus
erant dura. Et diligebat Abraham Jacobum, et Isac diligebat Esau. 15
Et videbat Abraham opera Esau et sciebat quoniam in Jacob vocabitur 16
illi semen et nomen, et vocavit4 Rebeccam et mandavit (illi) pro Jacob,
quoniam (cognovit quod) ipsa diligebat Jacob plusquam Esau. Et dixit 17
illi : filia, custodi [in nomine] filii mei Jacob, quoniam hie mihi erit prae-
sentatio5 super terram et in benedictione super filios hominum et universi
seminis Sem6 gloria. Quia scio quod hunc elegit Deus sibi in populum 18
sanctum7 ex omnibus (populis) qui sunt super faciem [totius] terrae.
Et ecce Isac (Alius meus) diligit Esau super Jacob, et ego video te dili- 19
gentem in veritate Jacob. Adice adhuc amplius ut parcas illi, et sint 20
oculi tui super eum in dilectione, quoniam ipse erit nobis in benedictione
super terram et ex hoc et usque in omni generatione terrae. Convalescant 21
ergo manus tuae et gaudeat cor tuum in filio tuo Jacob, quoniam ipsum
dilexi super omnes filios meos ; [propter quod] in aeternum benedicetur
et semen ejus et erit conplens omnem terram. Si poterit ergo homo 22
numerare harenam terrae, et numerabile erit semen ejus. Et universae 23
benedictiones, quas benedixit me Deus et semen meum, Jacob et semini
ejus erunt omnibus diebus. Et in semine ejus benedicetur nomen meum 24
et nomen patrum meorum Sem, Noe, Enoch, *Malalel, Henos, Set8, Adam.
Et ipsi erunt fundamenta ponentes caeli et confirmantes terram, ut agnos- 25
cantur9 universa luminaria firmamenti. Et vocavit Abraham .... 26

Abraham1. Quia Abraham erat perfectus in omnibus operibus suis cum 10
Deo et beneplacens in veritate omnibus diebus vitae suae : et ecce non
conplevit quattuor jubeleos in vita sua, quousque senuit a facie malignorum
et satiatus est diebus suis. Et (omnes) generationes, quae surrexerint 2 n
ex hoc et usque in diem judicii magni3, senescent cito, priusquam con-
pleant duos jubeleos, et erunt transeuntes ab ipsis spiritibus4 intellectus
ipsorum. Et in diebus illis, si vixerit homo jubeleum5 et dimidium 12
annorum, dicent de ipso : ' Abundavit vita sua, et plurimum dierum
ipsius (dolor et maero)6r et angustiae et non est pax: propter quod vulnus 13
super vulnus et dolor super dolorem et tribulatio super tribulationem et
auditus malus super auditum malum et infirmitas super infirmitatem,
et universa judicia ejus(modi)6 maligna, secundum hoc illud7, correptio8 et
clades et nives et pruinae et glacies et febris et frigora et praefocatio9
et famis et mors et gladius et captivitas et universa10 plaga (et) planctus.
Et omnia haec supervenient super generationem quae est iniqua, quae 14
iniquitatem facit in terra, et immunditia et fornicationes et pollutiones (et)
abominationes opera11 ipsorum.' Tunc dicent: ' Antiquorum12 dies multi 15
usque ad mille annos et [dies] boni : nam13 ecce dies vitae nostrae, si
multum vixerit homo, anni14 septuaginta, et si valide15, octoginta et isti
maligni, et non est omnis pax in diebus generationis illius pessimae10.'
Et in ipsa generatione erit ut pueri arguant patres suos et seniores suos 16
propter iniquitatem et injustitias et propter sermonem oris ipsorum et
propter malitias magnas, quas ipsi faciunt (et) propter quod derelinquunt
testamentum, quod testatus est Deus inter manum sui et ipsorum, custo-
dire et facere universa mandata ejus et praecepta ejus et omnia legitima

dictum et in indignatione irae3 in manum peccatoris populi et in manu
Cettin. Et (qui efifugerit e gladio adversarii et e Cettin) eradicet eum 29

ditionem et exterminium, ut auferatur a facie terrae totum semen
Filistinorum, et non erit illis (Caphthor) omne nomen et semen relictum
super terram. Et si ascendat usque ad caelum, inde deponetur ; et ubi 31
fugiens erit (in terra), inde auferetur ; et si occultaverit se in medio
gentium, (inde) eradicabitur ; et si descendat in infernum, ibi abundabit
judicium ejus et non erit ei illic omnis pax. Et si [vadens] abierit in 32

reversus est Isac a puteo jurationis et ascendit in barin patris sui
Abraham et inhabitavit ibi *in terra sua et filii sui6. Propter quod in is
tempore, quo abiit Jacob in Mesopotamiam, accepit sibi Esau mulierem
Maellet filiam Ismael et (ad se recepit) *uxores suas7 (et) universos
greges patris sui et ascendens inhabitavit in monte Seir, et derelinquit8
Isac patrem suum ad puteum jurationis (solitarium). Ascendit ergo Isac 19
de puteo jurationis (et inhabitabat) in barin Abraham patris sui in monte
Cebron. Illic erat Jacob transmittens quaecumque transmittebat9 patri 20

saria in omni usu suo, et erant benedicentes Jacob in omni corde ipsorum
et in tota anima sua.

et *polluit earn, quia dormivit cum ea12, et ipsa adulescens erat filia
duodecim annorum. Et petierat illam [postea] a patre suo et [omnibus] 3
fratribus suis in mulierem. Et indignatus est Jacob et filii sui ad viros
Sychemorum, quia polluerant Dinam sororem suam, et locuti sunt ad
eos in simulationem et in dolo deriserunt eos [Symeon et Leuui] *et
posuerunt in corde suo13 Symeon et Leuui *exterminare eos14, et fecerunt 4

caelo sit judicatum1 super ipsos, ut pugnent2 in gladio adversus Sychem
(univers)um, propter quod fecerunt ignominiam in Istrahel. Et tradidit <5
eos Dominus in manibus filiorum Jacob, ut eradicent eos in gladio et
fiat in ipsis judicium, et non amplius erit *in Istrahel3 ut polluatur virgo
Istrahel. Et homo quicumque [est] ex (filiis) Istrahel [et] placuerit 7
ei dare filiam suam aut sororem suam omni viro ex semine gentium,
periet et lapidabitur lapidibus, propter quod fecerit ignominiam in
Istrahel, et mulier conburetur igni, propter quod contaminaverit domum
patris sui, (et) eradicabitur ex Istrahel. Et non erit fornicaria et abom- 8

sanctus est Istrahel Domino, et omnis homo quicumque polluerit (eum)

in tabulis caeli de omni semine Istrahel quoniam qui polluerit mortem
morietur et lapidibus lapidabitur. Et non erit huic legi finis temporis 10

quicumque polluerit filiam ipsius in medio omnis5 Istrahel, quoniam ab
[omni] semine ejus dedit alienigenae6 et impie egit7 intaminare illud.
Et tu Monses manda filiis Istrahel et testificare super eos, ut non dent "
ex filiabus suis gentibus et ut non accipiant filiis suis de filiabus eorum,
quoniam abominatio est coram Domino. Propter hoc scripsi tibi in 12
sermonibus legis omnis sermones operum8 Sychimorum quae fecerunt
Dinae9, et quemadmodum locuti sunt filii Jacob dicentes : 'Non dabimus
filiam nostram homini qui habet praeputium; obprobrium enim est nobis.
Et obprobrium Istrahel qui dant sive accipiunt a filiabus gentium, propter 13
quod abominatio est et immunditia in (omni) Istrahel. Et non mun- 14

Sycimam, ascendit illis scriptura in caelis, facientes veritatem et judicium

timuit enim ab his qui inhabitabant4 terrain, a Cananeis et Ferezeis.

Rebeccae : ' Vade cum filio tuo.' Et ivit2 Rebecca cum filio suo Jacob 3°
et Debborra [nutrix sua] cum ea, et advenerunt in Bethel. Et memor 31

et Isac. (Et dixit) : ' Nunc cognovi quoniam spes mihi est eterna et 32

Jacob diluculo in quartadecima die mensis hujus decimavit universa
quaecumque venerunt cum eo, ab homine usque ad (omnem) animam6
ab auro6 usque ad omne vas et vestimentum decimavit universa. Et 3
in illo tempore Rachel in utero habente7 Beniamin filium suum, enumer-
avit Jacob ab ipso filios suos et ascendit, et cecidit Leuui in sortem
Dei, et induit eum pater suus vestimenta sacerdotalia et implevit manus

suum, quoniam pusillanimis4 erat spiritus ejus, et non poterant eum
derelinquere : et Beniamin erat junior, (et) propter hoc remanserat cum
patre suo. Et advenerunt reges Taffo5 et rex Arco et rex Saragan et 4
rex Silo et rex Gaas et rex Betoron 6 et rex Manesacer et universi qui

secundae2 mortua est Lia uxor Jacob3 et sepellierunt earn in spelunca
duplici secus Rebeccam matrem ejus (in sinistra sepulcri Sarae matris
patris sui). Et adfuerunt omnes filii ejus et pueri ejus, ut flerent cum ir
eo Liam mulierem ejus et ut consolarentur eum de ilia, quia erat lugens
earn. Quoniam diligebat earn valde ex die, qua mortua est Rachel 23
soror ejus, quia perfecta et recta erat in omnibus viis suis et honori-
ficans Jacob, (et) omnibus diebus, quibus vixit cum eo4 non audivit
omnem sermonem nequam ex ore ejus, quoniam quieta et pacifica erat
et (recta et) hono(rifica erat). Et erat memor omnium operum ejus quae 24
fecit in vita sua, et [ideo] (lugebat earn, quia) diligebat earn valde in
toto corde suo et in anima sua.

illos Esau : ' Quia ego dederam Jacob primitiva propter modicam cocturam

ipsius) et dejecit ilium. Et emisit sagittam secundam et1 percussit 3
*Adoram Arameum2 juxta mamillam sinistram ipsius et dejecit ilium et
occidit eum. Et post haec exierunt filii Jacob ipsi et pueri ipsorum 4
divisi in quattuor spiritus bareos. Et exivit Judas primus et Neptalim 5
et Gad cum eo et quinquaginta pueri cum ipso secundum meridianum

effugiit ex illis neque unus. Et Leuui et Dan et Aser exierunt secun- 6

filius Ruben secundum occasum bari3 et quinquaginta [ipsorum] cum

Et adgressa est eum et tenuit eum intra domum ut facerct ei vim, XXXIX.9
ut1 dormiret cum ea, et clusit ostia domus et detinuit eum: et dimisit2
[Joseph] vestimenta sua (in manibus ejus) et frangens3 ostium fugit foris
a facie ejus. Et vidit mulier quoniam contemsit earn, (et) mentita est4 10
adversus eum in conspectum domini ejus dicens : ' Servus tuus Hebreus
iste vim mihi molitus est facere, quern diligebas, ut dormiret mecum, et
factum est cum exaltassem vocem meam, fugiens foras dereliquit5 vesti-
menta sua in manibus meis, qui(bus tenue)ram [ex imo ei vestimenta
sua], (et fregit ostium).' Et vidit Aegyptius vestimenta Joseph et ostium u
fractum et audivit sermonem mulieris, suae et posuit Joseph in domum
vinculatorum in locum, in quo divincti regis6 detinebantur. Et erat 12
illic in vincula, et dedit ill i Dominus gratiam in conspectu principis
carceris et misericordiam in conspectu ejus, quia vidit quod Dominus
erat cum eo et omnia quae faciebat [Joseph], Deus dirigebat. Et [ideo] 13
dedit universa in manus ejus, et non erat sciens princeps carceris quid-
quam [eorum quae fiebant in carcere]7; quia universa ea faciens erat
Joseph, et Dominus dirigebat ea. Et erat illic annis duobus. Et in 14
tempore illo iratus est Farao rex Aegypti super duos eunuchos suos,
id est, super (principem) vinifusorum8 et super principem pistorum, et
posuit eos in carcerem in domum principis cocorum9 in vinculatorio, in
quo et Joseph tenebatur. Et posuit princeps vinculatorum10 Joseph ut 15
ministraret eis, et ministrabat in conspectu eorum. Et somniaverunt 16

7 Observe that Lat. in agreement with Eth. Vers, of Gen. xxxix. 23 differs from all
other versions of Gen. xxxix. 23, as well as from Eth. text of Jubilees. For fiebant
MS. reads fieban. 8 MS. vinifusores. 9 An inappropriate rendering; see

ea Joseph. Et quemadmodum interpraetatus est illis [Joseph], sic est 17
eis et factum : principem vinifusorum Farao restituit in locum suum et
*principem pistorum1 suspendit, sicut ei dixit Joseph. Et non fuit memor 18
princeps vinifusorum Joseph in vinculatorio, cum indicasset i 1 11 quaecumque
venissent ei, et non fuit memor, ut *internuntiaret Farao ut solvisset2
Joseph, quoniam oblitus est.

Et in illo tempore somniavit Farao somnia duo in nocte una propter XL.
famem quae futura erat super (omnem) terram. Et expergefactus de
somno vocavit universos interpraetes somniorum, qui erant in *regno suo3,
et praecantatores et indicavit illis (duo) somnia sua, et non potuerunt
i 11 i interpraetare somnia ejus. Tunc memoratus est princeps vinifusorum 2
Joseph et indicavit de illo regi [Faraoni], et ejecit eum de vinculatorio
et narravit in conspectu ejus duo somnia (sua. Et) interpraetatus est 3
(coram Faraone quod) duo somnia unum sunt (et dixit ei) : ' Septem
[autem] anni [continui] erunt in omnem terram Aegypti ubertatis et
(postea) septem anni famis, *qualis (non) fuit4 in omnem terram. Et 4
nunc ordinet Farao speculatores5 in omnem terram Aegypti, qui con-
gregent escas per singulas civitates (et reponant eas) annis septem
ubertatis in escam quae futura est septem annis famis, et non periet
terra a facie famis, quoniam vehemens erit valde [super omnem terram].'
Et dedit Deus gratiam Joseph et misericordiam in conspectu Faraonis, 5
et dixit Farao pueris suis : ' Numquid poterimus invenire hominem
prudentiorem et sapientiorem quam hie est quoniam spiritus Dei cum
ipso est.' Et posuit eum secundum se in omni regno suo et potestatem 6
habentem in omni [terra] Aegypti, et imposuit eum super currum
secundum qui erat Faraonis. Et induit eum veste6 bissina et posuit 7
torquem aurem in colle ejus, et praeconaverunt in conspectu ejus ' Elel'

eos *in operibus ipsorum5, ne forte occurrat nobis bellum, et tunc bellt-
gerabunt et ipsi nos (et conjungentur) super inimicos (nostros), cxeuntes
de terra nostra propter quod cor ipsorum et vultus eorum in terra6
Canaan est.' Et imposuit super eos rex executores operum, ut adfligant 14
eos *in operibus ipsorum5. Et aedificaverunt civitates munitas Faraoni
Phytom7 et Rammasse [et Oon] 8, et aedificaverunt omnem murum qui

saecula est dccretum. Et homo qui fuerit mundus et non ierit1 facere 9
illud in die temporis ejus ut adferat oblationem acceptabilem in con-
spectu Domini, ut manducet et ut bibat in conspectu Domini in die
festo ejus, *exterminabitur ille2 homo (qui) mundus3 et qui proximus
est: quoniam oblationem Domino4 non optulit in tempore ipsius,
pcccatum suum sumet homo ille. Et erunt venientes filii Istrahel et 10
facientes pascha in tempore suo, in quartadecima die mensis primi ad
vesperas5, a tertia autem ejus usque in tertiam noctis, quoniam duae6
partes diei (datae sunt) in lumine et *tertia pars7 in vespere. Hoc est n
quod mandavit Dominus tibi ut facias illud in vespertino. Et non est 12
ut quis sacrificet in omni hora luminis nisi in vespertina, et ut manducent8
illud horis vespertinis tertia noctis, et quod derelictum fuerit ex omnibus
carnibus a tertia noctis, hoc in igne comburetur. Et non coquetur9 in 13
aqua aut manducabitur10 crudum, sed in igne assum : comedetis illud
diligenter : caput ipsius cum interaneis et cum pedibus11 ipsius assabitis12
igne, et non erit quod frangatur ex omnibus ossibus ejus : et non erit
tribulatio in filiis Istrahel in die hac. Propter quod mandavit Dominus 14
filiis Istrahel facere pascha in die temporis ejus, et non erit confringere
in eo13 omne os illius, quoniam dies festus est et dies praecepti : non est
ut praetereatur de die in diem, de mense et mense, sed in tempore suo
(perficiatur). Et tu manda filiis Istrahel ut faciant pascha in genera- 15

APPENDIX I.

The Hebrew Book of Noah, published in Jellinek's Bet ha-Midrasch iii. pp. 155—
156, is based partly on the Book of Jubilees. The verbal coincidences and
parallels are frequent — I have drawn attention to these in the margin — and in one
instance (x. 1) I have by its means been able to restore the original text. Of this
Hebrew Book of Noah, I have reproduced only half, as the remaining half has
no connection with the Book of Jubilees. I should perhaps remark that the writer
has been influenced by the Book of Enoch : this is clear from his references to
Raphael's functions in regard to the evil spirits, as well as from the phrase ninn
D*nflDBn, which is not intelligible save from a knowledge of Enoch vi-x.

APPENDIX II.

The following Midrash, which I have reprinted from Jellinek's Bet ha-Midrasch
iii. pp. 3-5, arid which constitutes the latter half of the Midrash Wajjissau, deals with
the war between Jacob and Esau, of which an account is given in the Book of Jubilees
xxxvii-xxxviii. The Midrash follows the text of the latter in its main outlines, and
frequently reproduces it word for word in the order in which it is found in the
Ethiopic text, Its writer, however, has in some respects dealt freely with his
materials, and imparted a far darker colouring to the character of Esau than is to be
found in Jubilees. He was, moreover, acquainted with other forms of the tradition
than that which he found in Jubilees, his main authority. To this latter fact he calls
attention in three instances.

As in the former Midrash, I have added in the margin the parallels in Jubilees.

This Midrash is valuable, both as testifying to the Hebraic original of Jubilees,
and as a help towards the criticism and emendation of the Ethiopic text; cf. for
instance xxxviii. 2. Again, in xxxviii. 10 it confirms an emendation which I had
already made on the strength of the Latin, i.e. avlftPav; by means of Lat.
{cir)cumsederwt, from hav'lJZ'tt'PaD'; of MSS. ; while in xxxviii. 12 it shows that
the Latin Version has failed, while the Ethiopic Version has succeeded in giving the
right rendering.

Syriac Fragment.

The following Syriac Fragment, entitled ' Names of the Wives of the Patriarchs
according to the Hebrew Book called Jubilees,' is derived from a British Museum

sacra et pro/ana, Tom. ii. Fasc. 1, pp. 9-10. The following text is reprinted

PREFACE

SHORTLY after the publication of the five fragments of Palestinian
Syriac in a former volume of the Anecdota Oxoniensia1, two more frag-
ments were procured for the Bodleian Library by Professor Sayce. All the
seven leaves had been discovered, with other writings, in an underground
chamber beneath a synagogue in Cairo, when the site was cleared to
make room for new buildings ; and, as there seemed no probability
of other fragments being offered for sale in the same quarter, it was
proposed to publish the two additional fragments as an appendix to the
first five. While preparing them for the press, with the co-operation of
Mr. Stenning, I learned that Mrs. Bensly and Mr. Burkitt, on the
occasion of a recent expedition to the Convent of St. Catharine, on
Mount Sinai, had discovered and transcribed other inedited remains of
the Palestinian literature. Mr. Stenning had also a small contribution
to make of a few lines of Palestinian, which he discovered when he went
with Mr. Cowley, last year, for researches in the same convent library.
Our united labours, which have been carried on in a spirit of most
cordial co-operation, have resulted in the following work. We have
all assisted in overcoming the difficulties of transcription or of inter-
pretation connected with the several fragments, but each contributor
must be held responsible for those parts alone to which his initials
are attached.

The large Estrangela type which has been used (dalath without
diacritical point) is. to some extent, an imitation of the bold, distinct

character of the Palestinian script, although the forms of many of the
letters are different. Each column represents the same amount of written
text, and the MSS. are followed line by line. The regularity of the left-
hand edge of the column has not been preserved, for, although this has
been successfully accomplished in printing longer lines with smaller
Estrangela, with our large type the necessary 'connecting lines' — i.e.
the additional pieces of type put in to lengthen the words — would
have disfigured the pages, without any real addition to the accuracy
of the work.

We must not omit to acknowledge the kind assistance given by
Dr. Neubauer, and the valuable suggestions made by Professor
Margoliouth in reference to the text of the almost illegible leaf
of Wisdom, and at the same time to thank the Delegates of the
Clarendon Press for their liberality in publishing an unremunerative.

INTRODUCTION

The two leaves from which the following texts have been printed,
and the leaf of Numbers^ which has already been published, are connected
in their present condition, though not, perhaps, in origin, [a) The parch-
ment is of similar quality. (b) They were of the same size — about 9 in.
x 8 in., allowing for the mutilation of the edges, (c) They were written
in two columns, each about i\ in. wide. The Exodus leaf has 22 lines
to each column ; the other leaves seem to have contained as many.
(d) The three leaves are covered with Jewish writing ; and though the
pages are not all parts of the same work1, the hand may well be the
same. If not, the writing is all of the same era, and that, the twelfth
century, according to Dr. Neubauer's opinion after examination of the
Numbers leaf, (e) All the leaves, as already stated, were obtained from
the same place.

On these grounds one would be inclined to assign all alike to the
same period, and to suppose that the Exodus and the Numbers leaves
were once parts of a MS., which contained the Pentateuch in the Pales-
tinian script and dialect, together with the book of Wisdom'1. These
arguments, however, are not sufficiently strong to counterbalance the
evidence afforded us by the writing itself, and a careful comparison of
the different hands in which these fragments were written clearly shows

1 For details the reader is referred to Dr. Neubauer's Catalogue of the Hebi-ezv MSS. in the
Bodleian Library.

2 There is nothing a priori to prohibit the supposition that Wisdom was bound up with the
Pentateuch in a volume, to which two, or all, of our leaves belonged. We do not know what
arrangement of books was adopted in the Palestinian Canon. Perhaps it was different from the
Hebrew or LXX order. It would seem that the Canon included part, at least, of the Apocrypha.

io INTRODUCTION.

that a considerable period of time must have elapsed between the writing
of at least two of them \

There can be no doubt that the four New Testament fragments
(published in Anecdota Oxoniensia, Semitic Series, vol. i, part v) were
rightly assigned ' to the best period of the style,' though probably this
period should be placed rather in the sixth than in the seventh or eighth
century. In like manner the Numbers fragment (published in the same
volume) is to be assigned rather to the end of the sixth or to the begin-
ning of the seventh century2. The two remaining fragments, which
appear for the first time in this volume, present a marked contrast to
each other in the style of their writing. Unfortunately the writing of
the Wisdom fragment is exceedingly faint, but parts of it are sufficiently
distinct for us to determine that its small but well-formed hand very
closely resembles that of the Numbers fragment, and probably belongs
to a period but little removed from that of the New Testament frag-
ments.

In the Exodus fragment, however, the character of the writing appears
to have completely changed ; the distinctive characteristics of the different
letters have almost disappeared, the up and down strokes are no longer
clearly defined, and in place of a bold, square hand, in which each letter
seems to stand out from its neighbours, we find an almost cursive hand,
in which the thickly-formed letters have assumed a uniform sameness of
character. If we are right then in ascribing the other fragments to the
sixth and seventh centuries respectively, the Exodus fragment can hardly
be earlier than the eighth or ninth century ; and thus the Palestinian
codices were already several centuries old at the time when, parchment
being for some reason, perhaps on account of persecution, difficult to
procure, they were broken up by the Jewish scribe.

THE TEXT REPRESENTED BY THE PALESTINIAN
VERSION OF THE OLD TESTAMENT.

Although no record has yet been discovered of the date and authorship of
the Palestinian Version, it is evident from what source the Old Testament
portions were derived. The connection which may often be observed between
the phraseology of the version and that of the Targum of Jerusalem, might
suggest that the Palestinian Old Testament was adapted from a work of that
character ; but the connection, as regards the extant Jerusalem Targum, is only
in the use of words. The renderings in our fragments of Exodus and Numbers
are very different from the paraphrases of that Targum. They approach, in this
respect, nearer to the work of Onkelos ; yet they were not derived from him.
Nor are they taken from the Peshitto, nor, directly, from the Hebrew, although
the influence of the Hebrew can, perhaps, be traced in some places. When
twenty years ago some portions of the Palestinian Old Testament were, for
the first time, printed from MSS. in London and St. Petersburg1, the editor
expressed the opinion that the version was made from the LXX, but had been
corrected from other authorities by revisers, who were by no means ignorant
translators. The few verses of Numbers, which were published in 1893 2, were
shown to exhibit similar features. A like verdict may be pronounced on the
somewhat longer portions, from Exodus and from _/<?/$, which we now present to
the reader. In the latter fragment, as will be seen from Mr. Burkitt's annotations,
several authorities are successively supported within the compass of a very
few verses. Mr. Stenning remarks 3 of the only part of the Apocrypha which
has yet been discovered, the exceeding closeness with which it follows the LXX
as opposed to the Peshitto. The text of the fragment of Kings seems to be
based on the Lucianic recension 4. Representative portions of various parts
of the Palestinian Old Testament are now available, and are of sufficient extent

to justify a general conclusion as to the character of the translation. Each
new accession to our materials supports the opinion of the first editor. The
version, in so far as it was made from the LXX, follows no MS. which
is now extant1. It either represents a form of text, which has perished, or,
more probably, depends on more than one Greek MS., and it may have been
subjected to revision. It is significant that the Palestinian New Testament is also
eclectic in character2, while it is certainly remarkable that translations, which
seem intended for the benefit of the Hebrew Christians, should be so much
indebted to Hellenistic sources, so little to Hebrew and Aramaic.

In the following notes we have indicated, in addition to the readings which
underlie the text, all the words and forms which may be described as Palestinian,
with remarks on the more important of them. Since the publication of my
Anecdoton in 1893, Schwally's Idioticon des christlich paldstinischen Aramaeisch
has appeared, and this valuable work must now be added to the authorities given on
pp. xvii, xviii. By an omission Noldeke's important article in the Zeitschrift der
Dentschen morgenldndischen Gesellschajt, Bd. xxii, was not included in that list.
I take this opportunity of correcting the omission, as the Beitrdge zur Kennlniss
der aramdischen Dialecte, ii. (Z D M G. xxii. 443-527), will be found indispensable
to every student. Some illustrations of Palestinian may also be found in the
Grammatik des Jiidisch-Paldslinischen Aramaisch, von Gustaf Dalman, 1894.

The list of the Remains of the Palestinian Version (pp. xvi, xvii) should now

include the contents of the two Evangelistaria, similar in character to Adler's

Vatican MS. The discovery of these codices in the library on Mount Sinai

was announced by Mrs. Lewis after my Anecdoton was in print. This lady has

in her possession a lectionary, containing passages from the Pentateuch, several

from Isaiah, one from Jeremiah, some from the Minor Prophets and the Hagio-

grapha, several from the Pauline Epistles, and one from St. James. The MS. is

assigned to the eleventh or twelfth century.

G. H. G.

1 If hereafter a large portion of the Palestinian Old Testament should be available, it might
be found that Lucian was, more or less, followed throughout, and not in his recension of Kings
only. As the variations between the Greek Texts are not numerous in the Pentateuch, it is
difficult to arrive at any certain conclusion as to the relation of a particular Text to the
Palestinian Version, from the few fragments at present extant, but this, at least, may be affirmed,
that the readings of the fragments are, in the main, those of Lucian. See the summary
given on p. 32, with the references to authorities on Lucian's work.

Hier. o^o is used in Pe. and Pa. as in Edess.; for the scr. pi., cf. 1. 19 n.

In the proper names which follow, there is a mixture of Hebrew and Greek
forms. Aharon returns to the Hebrew spelling ; Israil (as in the Peshitto passim)
is the Greek rather than the Hebrew form; Abind is from LXX, Heb. being
A MM; Eliazar represents 'EXed£ap, Heb. being Etazar; Ethhnar may be
Ithamar, the 'Iddpap of LXX, and the Hebrew IBITK ; the dotted } (it is written
without a dot in the other names) perhaps represents the I. Many of the proper
names of the O. T. would be in daily use amongst those for whom the Palestinian
translations were made, and thus would acquire conventional forms, so that critical
inferences from them are now somewhat precarious.

in a former publication, we found two blank or illegible lines, which happened to
correspond to the 3, and might be intended to mark the same division as in the

that the translator followed some division of the Greek text. Compare the division

support the Alex, e^pna-pevm than the Vat. i^pT-qpivm. A stop is required at the

certainly o, beginning a new sentence. Another stop is required at the end of 1. 15,

WISDOM IX. 8b— X. 2.

INTRODUCTION.

The following verses from the apocryphal book of the Wisdom of
Solomon are inscribed on a single palimpsest leaf, written in double
columns, each of which contains 22 lines. The upper writing of
this, as of the other leaves in the Bodleian Library, is by a Jewish
hand \ Unfortunately the lower half of each side has been so carefully
erased that it is impossible to make out more than a few words here and
there. This applies more especially to the recto side, on which the
under-writing throughout is very faint. The first eight or ten lines,
however, on the upper part of each side have been fairly well preserved,
and after a prolonged examination, I at length succeeded in obtaining
the results here given. I should mention that Mr. Gwilliam first ex-
amined the leaf, but afterwards entrusted me with its decipherment,
handing over, at the same time, the results of his examination, which
are embodied in the following text. My thanks are due to him and
especially to Professor D. S. Margoliouth, who identified the lines, which
I had deciphered, with Wisdom ix. 8 ff. and thus put it in my power to
make out what remained. With the additional help of the LXX Version,
I had no difficulty in making a few slight corrections in the part already
deciphered, and in supplying some of the missing words. Owing to the
condition of the MS. it was impossible to apply the re-agent to the
lower half of each side, and the blank spaces must therefore remain.

The writing is small and regular, and in that respect resembles the
Numbers fragment ; since, however, many of the letters are closely allied
in form to those of the earlier New Testament fragments, the leaf

1 See p. 9, and note.

22 INTRODUCTION.

probably occupies a position half way between the New Testament and
the Numbers fragments. The date would therefore be about the end of
the sixth century.

The fragment is remarkable for the exceeding closeness with which
it follows the text of the LXX, as opposed to that of the Peshitto.
The only clear case of a different reading is in ix. 14, where our version
agrees with the Peshitto in reading avT&v for fjixcav.

The importance of the leaf consists in the fact that it affords us
positive evidence as to the translation of, at any rate, this apocryphal book
into Palestinian Syriac. It seemed, indeed, at first sight, more than
probable that this leaf formed part of the same MS. as that from which
the Numbers fragment was taken, but on closer examination, one is
forced to the conclusion that the two hands are not identical. See
further the note on the relative ages of this, and the other two Old
Testament fragments, p. 102.

That our leaf really formed part of a continuous version and not
of a lectionary, may be concluded from the fact that chap, ix is im-
mediately followed by chap. x. The break between the chapters is
so distinct that it is inconceivable that both, or parts of both, should be
included in the same lection, nor should we expect to find a heading to
the chapter inserted as here. The presence of this heading is interesting
as showing that the division into chapters was already in existence
at the time of the translation.

Nold. op. cit. p. 450 for discussion of the vowel-system. The above is the only clear
instance of a vowel-sign in this leaf, doubtless because of the faintness of the writing.

thus be to eye a person (not necessarily in a bad sense as in Hebrew, cf. 1 Sam.
xviii. 9 ]^V Keri), then to watch or guard, and lastly to protect, preserve. Mr.
Burkitt, however, very plausibly suggests that we have here an instance of two

ACCORDING TO THE RECENSION OF LUCIAN

IN THE

PALESTINIAN SYRIAC DIALECT

FROM MS. ARAB. 588 IN THE LIBRARY OF SAINT CATHERINE

ON MOUNT SINAI

TRANSCRIBED AND EDITED

BY

JOHN F. STENNING

INTRODUCTION

The following verses are taken from an Arabic MS. (No. 588 in
Mrs. M. D. Gibson's Catalogue, Studio. Siuaitica III) in the library of
the Convent of St. Katherine on Mount Sinai. The MS. is a palimpsest,
the upper writing being a late Arabic Prophetologion, while the under
writing consists mainly of Syriac Apocrypha. When I was engaged in
working at the latter (February and March, 1894), I discovered that four
of the leaves contained a double palimpsest, i.e. that the under-writing
in Syriac was, in its turn, written over some Palestinian Syriac. The
latter was written in an exceptionally bold and clear hand, but the ink
had in most cases become so faint that the application of the re-agent
proved of very little use. The forms of the letters, however, had been
so clearly indented in the vellum, that they could still be traced in
a strong light. Unfortunately, the Syriac — in a fine bold Estrangela
hand — had been written immediately over the Palestinian Syriac, so
that the latter was almost entirely obscured — the effect of the re-agent
being to produce a dark green smudge. The few lines that I was able
to decipher; occur for the most part at the beginning or end of the two
columns — in which, as usual, the Palestinian Syriac was written — where
there was no upper Syriac writing.

I may mention, as a matter of curiosity, that one leaf apparently
contained a treble palimpsest !

At the convent itself, I was only able to compare the writing of
the two Palestinian Syriac lectionaries of the Gospels, dated 1094 and
1098 A.D. (now being published at Cambridge by Mrs. Lewis), the frag-
ments of Job and of the Homilies (published in this Anecdoton), which
Mr. Burkitt assigns to the eighth and ninth centuries respectively.

32 INTRODUCTION.

A comparison with these latter, inclined me to assign an early date to
these few fragments, a view which is borne out by the fact that the
rest of the palimpsest in this MS. viz. the Syriac Apocrypha is certainly
early — probably sixth century. Further, the state of the vellum and
the character of the writing all point to a date not later than the
seventh — possibly the sixth century.

On comparing the subjoined fragments with the Massoretic text and
with that of the chief versions, it at once became clear that the MS.
differed considerably from the ordinary text. At first, indeed, I could
only conclude that the verses formed part of some Palestinian version
which had been expanded after the manner of a Targum, and that —
owing to their apparent want of connection — they were taken from a
lectionary and not from a complete text. The true solution of these
difficulties, however, was first discovered by Mr. Burkitt, who pointed
out that the verses in question were really a literal translation of Lucian's
revision of the LXX, as published in Lagarde's edition {Librorum Vet.
Test. Canonicorum, pt. i, p. 329). In this edition 3 Kings i. 1 = 1 Kings
ii. 12 (Hebrew text), whilst ch. ii. 1-14 (Lucian) forms an addition which
is not found in the Hebrew or LXX. This addition is inserted between
vv. 35 and 36 of 1 Kings ii. (Hebrew), the ordinary narrative being re-
sumed at ver. 15 = 1 Kings ii. 36 (Hebrew).

The verses, therefore, are of twofold importance. On the one hand
they form the oldest direct witness to the Lucianic text that we possess,
with the exception of the quotations in the Antiochene fathers, and on
the other, they present us with an invaluable clue as to the connection
of the Palestinian Bible with another text of the LXX besides that of
the Codex Vaticanus.

Further light on this subject is afforded us by the other two O. T. fragments. In Exodus our
text agrees three times (w. 3, 7, 9) with Lucian and B against A, four times (vv. 1, 3, 7, 8) with
Lucian and A against B, and once (ver. 9) with Lucian against A, B. On the other hand,
it follows A, B once (ver. 4, favrjv) against Lucian (faoTfjpa), and twice (vv. 6, 8) stands alone.
In Numbers it agrees twice (v. 6, 7) with Lucian and B against A, once (iv. 46) with Lucian and
A against B, and once (iv. 49) with Lucian against A, B, but supports A, B four times against
Lucian (iv. 47, 49; v. 4, 7). There would thus seem to be — relatively — considerable ground for
supposing that our version, like the Old Latin, was based on MSS. agreeing closely with those
followed by Lucian. On the latter's recension, cf. Field, Origen's Hexapla, p. lxxxiv. seq. ;
Driver, Notes on Samuel, p. 1. seq. ; Buhl, Canon and Text of the 0. T., p. 140.

NOTES TO 3 KINGS.

For the sake of comparison the Greek text of Lucian has been placed along
side of the Palestinian Syriac. The adoption of this plan is the more necessary
in the case of the first extract, since the main portion of it is only preserved in the
Lucianic recension, though vv. 13 and 14 occur in the same form in the parallel
passage 1 Kings ii. 8, 9 (Heb.) = 2 Kings xxvi. 8, 9 (Lucian).

ii. 10. ^0 »k»=> ^o] Noldeke (Z D M G. xxii. p. 485) mentions the use of the
particles ^o >K=>, ^o ^.so, and .ro >l^s ^», but not of this particular combination.

ver. 11. i^. o»k«»] A usage peculiar to this dialect, cf. Noldeke, op. cit. p. 51 1,
who points out that the other Aramaic dialects usually emphasize the definite
object by attaching the corresponding pronominal suffix to the verb, which is then
followed by the substantive with X prefixed. See also Palest. Vers., pp. xxix, xxxi.

)o^*2. fc^oc. ./] We should certainly expect the object to be expressed either
by means of the suffix or by «p^ ; possibly its omission is due to an error of the
scribe. The construction with ./ to express a negative is a Hebraism adopted
into the LXX and preserved by our version, cf. 1 Sam. xix. 6 and frequently.
For the form of the imperf. 1 sing. cf. Noldeke, p. 468, who shows that initial ( is
exceptional in these cases.

ver. 14. JkfljL] The adjective «Jo> innocens occurs Matt, xxvii. 24, and the

from the top of a right-hand column.

the substantive must mean seemliness, propriety. The o at the beginning is
certainly desiderated.

INTRODUCTION

The following fragment contains a rendering of the LXX text of
Job xxii. 3 b-12 in the Palestinian Syriac dialect. It is the recto of
a vellum leaf now glued against the cover of MS. 15 in the Syriac
Library of the Convent of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai. The leaf has
no running head-line, and it does not appear whether it formed part of
a complete text of Job, or of a lectionary. The writing is a good well-
formed Palestinian hand ; I should be inclined to place it not later than
the eighth century.

When I first saw the MS. in February, 1K93, during a visit to Mount
Sinai with the late Professor Bensly, the writing was very faint, but the
application of chemicals successfully brought out the previously illegible
letters ; and a photograph was taken by Mrs. Lewis, of Cambridge, who
was one of the party 1. As I was not at liberty to unglue the leaf, it
was impossible to read the other side.

NOTE ON THE GREEK TEXT REPRESENTED BY
THE FRAGMENT OF JOB.

The reader is aware that the original LXX text of Job passed over some
300 lines of the Hebrew, but that in the Hexapla these missing lines were
supplied from the version of Theodotion. Owing probably to the influence
of the Hexapla, these interpolations are found in all our Greek MSS. (including
B a), in St. Ambrose, and in the Memphitic version, but not in the Thebaic, nor
the genuine Old Latin (i.e. SS. Cyprian and Lucifer, the Speculum and Priscillian).
The text of the Hexapla, which contains these interpolations under asterisk, is
represented by the Syro-Hexaplar version, the Latin version made by St. Jerome,
and some cursives1.

The fragments of Job xxi. 1-9, printed in Land's Anecdota, iv. 223, the
only passage of the Palestinian Aramaic of Job hitherto published, do not cover
any of the interpolated verses. Fortunately however the page here printed
begins with Job xxii. 3 b, which has a place in the text without any critical sign,
though it is omitted by the Thebaic, and given under asterisk in Syr.-Hex. and
Colb. 1952. It is therefore evident that the Palestinian version, like codd. N B A C
&c, contained the interpolations from Theodotion.

As far as the fragment goes Syr. Palest, differs from B five times, from N*
six times, from A six times. The following readings deserve notice :

ver. 3 (the interpolated line). anXaxrus with Nca A (C) ■ [against B N*]. The
reading of B k* must be wrong, as the Heb. is D^n .

ver. 6. ydp with A [against B (S«f), and N syr-hex theb, which omit].

ver. 8. The clauses are transposed in Syr. Palest, and Jerome in accordance
with the Hebrew, but in no other authorities.

l?i^, thou didst thrust out, seems to correspond to dnaKto-as 2 with Parsons 254
and theb [against aKiaas B n C, while A has eicopuo-as, which is given as an
alternative in Syr.-Hex. under the form eW/uo-cw].

INTRODUCTION

In January, 1893, I accompanied my husband, the late Professor
R. L. Bensly, to the Convent of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai ; I myself
understood next to nothing of Oriental languages, but I shared with the
other travellers the privilege of seeing and handling the treasures of the
library, and thus I acquired a certain familiarity with the appearance
of early writings. Half hidden in the binding of a late Arabic MS.
I noticed some ancient vellum leaves written over in Palestinian Syriac ;
I took the book to my husband, who at once recognized the value of the
discovery. We obtained permission from the Librarian to further
examine the binding, and we finally detached fourteen leaves. Professor
Bensly was at the time too much occupied to examine them fully, but
he recognized in them fragments of an ancient Homily on St. Peter.
Under his direction I copied the twenty-six legible pages \ obtained
photographs of nearly all, and made a careful tracing of one — 5 r. He
intended to send a notice of them, on his return to England, to the
Deutsche Morgenlandische Gescllschaft; but of course nothing has been
done. The leaves were written on both sides in two columns in a large
clear hand, but had been so much cut down to make them fit into the
binding, that only one column of each page can be properly read. I found

1 Mrs. Bensly copied the Palestinian characters in a sort of rough facsimile, which
Mr. Burkitt has retranscribed, comparing the photographs where possible, and dividing the words.
The photographs show that Mrs. Bensly's copy was carefully executed, and is very accurate.
Mr. Burkitt states that the vellum of the MS. (where not stained) was very white and fine, and
the writing extremely distinct, except where the letters from the other side of the leaf showed
through the vellum. — G. H. G.

48 INTRODUCTION.

10, ii, 12. (c) Two separate leaves marked 13, 14 in my transcript.
After completing my copy, I carefully bound the original fourteen
leaves in a separate little volume, which I returned to the Librarian.
It is now No. 3 among the Palestinian Syriac MSS. of the convent
library. Mrs. Lewis, of Cambridge, very kindly took photographs of the
MS. for me at the same time, one of which is reproduced in this volume,
whereby the reader will be able to form some estimate of the age and
general appearance of the document. — A. B.

I have little to add to Mrs. Bensly's account, except to mention that
no column of the writing is complete. Foil. 1-5 (6) contain 20 lines of
writing in a column, and are mutilated at the top; foil. 7-12, 13, 14
contain 21 lines, and are mutilated at the bottom. The original number
of lines in a column seems to have been 24, as it is difficult to see how
more than four lines can be wanting between 2 v a and 2vb, where the
text is a continuous quotation from Matt, xxiii. 3. In 9 v b, 10 r a
we have a continuous quotation from Matt. xiv. 26-28. but apparently
somewhat curtailed. According to this, the Homily which begins on
3rb starts at line 8 from the top, after a title in red, which is now
unfortunately illegible.

As to the arrangement of the leaves, foil. 1-5 and 7-12 were found in
that order, the two groups have the same external characteristics of
margin &c, and they are connected in subject. Foil. 13 and 14 join
group 7-12, and as fol. 13 appears to be the exordium of a Homily,
I suppose they are the outside conjugates of the quire containing 7-12.
Whether the original gatherings consisted of five or four pairs of conju-
gate leaves it is now impossible to say ; but most Oriental books are
bound in gatherings of five pairs, so very likely a whole leaf intervenes
between 13 v b and 7 r a, and between 12 v b and 14 r a. Certainly the
transitions in both cases are very abrupt.

All the leaves doubtless belong to the same MS. of Homilies from
the exact similarity of writing and style, but I doubt whether leaves 13,
7-12, 14, which treat of St. Peter, form part of the Homily which
begins on 3 r a, and treats of the Flood. Very likely they are by the
same author, as the thought in 5 v b — Ararat regarded as Christ the
Rock on which the wandering Ark of the Gentiles finally rests — is akin

INTRODUCTION. 49

to the Homily upon St. Peter. This last piece is very curious, considering
the date of the MS. It is strange to find a Homily, probably translated
from the Greek into Palestinian Syriac, and extant in a MS. which can
hardly be later than the tenth century, which is occupied with elabo-
rately proving that the Church is founded not upon St. Peter but upon
Christ. That it was a translation1 seems to follow from the fact that
several of the numerous quotations from the Gospels do not agree with
the Palestinian Lectionary. On the other hand the apparent denial that
there is any play upon words in Matt. xvi. 18, and the somewhat
confusing changes of number and person in 1 2 v b suggest a Palestinian
and Semitic origin. This Homily, though preserved in such a fragmentary
state, and though simple in style, is yet quite clear in argument, and
contains some really subtle thought2. The Homily upon the Flood
is remarkable for the wide use made in it of Apocryphal documents.
Besides the story of the Cedars planted by Noah, out of which when
grown the Ark was to be made, a passage much resembling one found
in the Apocalypse of Paul is quoted as Scripture (see p. 99). Possibly
the quotation in the Homily may have been taken direct from the lost
Apocalypse of Peter. — F. C. B.

1 In this connection it is important to notice that the phrase when he saiv the storm (MS.
10 r a) suggests the omission of lc\vpov in Matt. xiv. 30, for which the only known authorities
are N E* Cop., not Syr. Palest.

Were Teschendorf's fragments, which he took ' from the East,' and which are now at
St. Petersburg (published by Dr. Land), taken from Mount Sinai ? Some of Teschendorf's leaves
are covered with Iberian (i. e. Georgian) writing, of which there are many MSS. at Sinai.

Land's facsimile is very like our Homilies, but there are more letters in the line, so it cannot
be part of the same MS.

2 An example is found in 1 2 r a, where our Homilist declares that whatever spiritual power
may have been given with the keys of heaven, yet that too was abandoned when St. Peter said
the Apostles had forsaken all things and followed Christ.

here may be used to distinguish the participle. The preterite, 1. 21, has no point,
but preterites in J (see 2 r, 11. 14, 17) have upper dot which, of course, indicates
the sound, like the dot on final Ji in such a form as j^-oso, and thus it seems
to stand for e as well as 6 or a. So in the case of 1, the dot may be Raphe, see
1. 23, but in oott, 3 v, 1. 8, must have another force, perhaps to indicate Pael.

The use of this and other proper names (e.g. 13 r, 1. 3, p. 60), in Greek form,
in preference to the Semitic forms of the writer's vernacular, helps to prove, if
proof were needed, that our fragments are translations from the Greek. See also

It has already been remarked that only one column of each page is legible.

NOTE. 99

Note on the Cedars which Noah planted.

This seems to be rather a Jewish than a Christian legend. In the Visio
Fault (• Apocalypse of Paul '), where we should naturally expect to meet such
a detail, it is not found, though the rest of the preaching of Noah is very similar
to our Homily, e. g.

Et deprecatus sum homines tempore illo dicens : Penitemini, ueniet enim diluuium
aquarum super nos. Ipsi autem inridebant me et subsanabantur uerba mea ; et iterum
dicebant mihi : Sed tempus hoc est eorum qui possunt ledere (sic) et peccare libenter
uolentes cui possibile est fornicari non pauca : deus enim hoc non aspicit et non agnoscit
que aguntur a nobis omnibus et prorsus non est aque diluuium ueniens in hunc mundum.

(M. R. James, Visio Pauli, in Texts and Studies, ii. 3, p. 41.)

The passage here quoted (corresponding to fol. 3 v b of the Homily) is found
only in the full Latin version of the Visio Pauli, being absent from the Syriac
version as well as Tischendorf's Greek. The quotation in this Palestinian work
thus affords another proof of the excellency of the recently discovered Latin text.

The only Christian reference to the planting of Cedars by Noah that I have
found is in the Description of Paradise by Moses bar Kepha (Magn. Bibl. vett.
patt., Paris, 1644, vol. i. p. 32). He says: 'But Jacob of Edessa says that
Noah . . . planted in the country of the Sodomites those Cedars from which he
constructed the Ark.'

The Cedars appear however in Jewish traditions1. Onkelos has DVHp for
'Gopher-wood' in Gen. vi. 14, and in a Midrash on Genesis2 we read: When
Noah planted the Cedars and cut them down for the building of the Ark, the
people said to him : ' What is this Ark for, oh old man ? ' He answered : ' Because
the Eternal will bring the Flood over the world.' ' This flood,' said the people
mocking among themselves, ' this flood only concerns the house of this man.'

1 Jacob of Edessa may have derived his information from Jewish sources.

It has already been remarked1 that the quotations from the Gospels in the
Homilies are not taken directly from the Palestinian Version. Whatever text
was used, it is evident that, as in the case of the Old Testament quotations, the
translator often only aims at giving the general sense. To this, and not probably
to any varying text, we must attribute (a) omission of words and clauses,
(6) variations in the order, and (c) the combination of several quotations from
different Gospels.

Si. Matthew xiv. 24-32 affords several instances both of (a) and (3), whilst
MS. 1 1 r and v illustrate in the most striking manner, the method by which he
strings together reminiscences of the accounts given by St. John and the Synoptists
of our Lord's resurrection.

The following readings seem however to be tolerably certain : —

St. Matt. xiv. 29, Kai r/kBev with B (so Lagarde in Bibliothecae Syriacae) ; xxiii. 4,
Kai 8v<r(3d(jTaKTa. omitted with NL 1 209 etc. ; it is however found in Lagarde's text.

St. John XX. 19, avvrjyixevoi with N*L etc. (SO Lagarde); xxi. 4, eVi tov alyia\6v

with N'ADL etc. ; xxi. 15 apparently TrpofiaTa with C'DChr.

Of the half a dozen readings here given, it will be noticed that one at least
differs from the text represented in the Palestinian Evangelistaria ; we might also
add other cases, in which the author of the Homilies seems to quote an alternative
word or expression. It is, of course, impossible to lay very much stress on
variations of this kind, but we must not forget that the Homilies are considerably
older than the extant Lectionaries, and that, on a priori grounds, we should
expect the former to contain an older and more original text. If, indeed, any
Gospel fragments in Palestinian Syriac should come to light, it is highly probable
that they would exhibit a text varying considerably from that of the Evangelistaria,
since the latter have doubtless been influenced by the text of Greek Lectionaries,
and can scarcely represent the genuine Palestinian Syriac Version.

PALESTINIAN HANDWRITING.

THE PERIODS TO WHICH OUR FRAGMENTS MAY BE ASSIGNED.

The time has not yet come for an adequate discussion of the characteristic
features of the Palestinian script at various epochs, and for a formal arrangement
of the extant documents, in order of antiquity ; but it will be allowed that some
conclusions have already been reached in regard to the age of these MSS., such
as have been stated in a previous publication1. These conclusions, though
perhaps in a measure provisional, will afford a basis for further observations
on the shapes of individual letters. Roughly speaking we can distinguish four
stages through which the writing has passed2, viz. those illustrated respectively by

(a) the four New Testament {Pal. Version, Plates) fragments — an exceedingly
fine, bold hand.

(b) Wisdom, Numbers, Land, Tables I, II, IV, and VI2, of which the Wisdom
fragment and Table VI especially are very little later than those of (a) ; the others,
however, show distinct traces of belonging to a later period, though the writing is
still bold and firm and preserves all the chief characteristics of the different letters.

(c) Exodus and Land, Table III. This hand is considerably later than the
above, and though regular, is wanting in those finer distinctions which characterize
the earlier writing.

id) Land, Tables V and VII, and generally all the later MSS. In these the
characteristic evenness and regularity of the writing is no longer observed, and
some of the letters have in consequence greatly changed from their original form.

r^ In (a) the left leg is a thick perpendicular stroke joined at the top to the
right leg by a thin horizontal stroke. At the point where it joins the right leg, this
thinner line breaks off upwards into a curve, which gradually thickens at the end.

1 Palestinian Version, Introduction ; see also Dr. Land, Anecdota [Otia] Syriaca, vol. iv.

2 Besides the Plates in this and the preceding Anecdoton, excellent illustrations will be found
in Land, and in Catalogue of Syriac MSS. in the British Museum, vol. iii, Plate XVIII of which
gives a most accurate representation of the recto of Land, Table VI.

PALESTINIAN HANDWRITING. 103

The right leg, unlike the left, is not straight but assumes a curved form, the
stroke being of the same thickness as the left leg.

In (b) the form is practically the same, but the right leg tends to lose its
curve and to become a straight sloping stroke re*.

In {c) and (d) the main outline is preserved but the varying thickness of
the strokes is not marked, and the curve of the right leg has entirely disappeared.

J In (a) at the beginning of a line the upper stroke, which is thickened at the
top, is almost perpendicular, and can only be distinguished from _L by the thin
stroke or tail which is drawn along the line to the right, and finishes with
a thickened end; cf. Palest. Vers. p. 15, 1. 20, as shown in the Plate.

In the middle of a line or word, the upper stroke slopes somewhat downwards
from left to right, and further, the top is not on the same level as that of the ordinary
letters, whilst the down stroke itself is continued a little below the line. The tail
is now below the line, parallel to the bottom line of the preceding letter. From the
point where the upper stroke and the tail meet, the latter is continued upwards until
it joins the following letter, which has in consequence to be produced a little below
the line, e.g. r^^vJ^rc*, ibid. p. 9, 1. 9 ; so Land F/and Wright, Plate XVIII.

In (b) at the beginning of a line the upper stroke is generally higher than the
following letters. In the middle of a line or word, the upper stroke has the same
slope as in (a), but the tail, instead of being parallel to the line, now slopes
downwards — in some cases also it is longer.

In (c) and (d) the upper stroke, the tail, and the connecting line are all
written with uniform thickness, whilst the last is now written on the line and
causes no change in the following letter. The tail slants downwards, and has no
extra thickening at the end.

.u In (a) the right leg is written with a thick down stroke, having, like
nun, a fine cross stroke at the top, and curving slightly to the right at the bottom ;
from this springs a thin upward stroke, which joins the left leg rather more than
half-way up. The latter is also a thick down stroke, curving slightly to the left at
the bottom.

In (b) the thin connecting stroke tends to get lower and lower down the left
leg, and in some cases is scarcely higher than the line. M or u.

In (c) and (d) the connecting stroke has become absorbed in the line,
and the two legs are merely straight perpendicular strokes, such a figure as (u)
roughly drawn.

N.B. The N. T. fragments Wisdom, Land, Tables /and IL, all give the oldest
form. In Numbers and Land, Table IV, we still get a connecting stroke, raised

104 PALESTINIAN HANDWRITING.

slightly above the line, whilst in Exodus and Land, Table III, the two legs are
merely joined by the line itself1.

2k initial and medial. In (a) the thick down stroke has usually a slight slope
from left to right, but in many cases is quite perpendicular, whilst the thick short
head projecting to the left of the main stroke, is above the level of the ordinary
letters. This form is also preserved in Wisdom, and Land, Table VL.

In (b) the top of the letter curves round into a half-loop, the top of the loop
being on a level with the ordinary letters, e. g. £> , whilst the down stroke is more
slanted than in (a).

In (c) and (d) the half-loop has become merely a short head, but the slope
of the down stroke is preserved.

v*. final. In (a) this letter assumes the following form: — Starting from the
left a small semicircle or u of medium thickness is first described, of which the
lower part is below the line ; the thickness of the centre stroke is caused by the
drawing of a thick down stroke on top of the right-hand side of the semicircle.
At the point where this stroke meets the line a fine curved stroke branches off to
the right below the line and forms a tail, e.g. va s/vj.

In (b) the tail is no longer a fine curve but is straightened out and thickened,
thus forming merely a prolongation of the middle down stroke ; the semicircular
curve does not go below the line c\.

A had at first a stroke like the descending stroke of -^, and about twice
as high. In some later hands, ' the upper stroke, instead of being carefully
thickened, has a second, roughly drawn into it, and the same may be observed
in the case of some other letters, as .^and A-. In this is found one of the
most constant and characteristic differences between the earlier, and carefully
executed, and the later, and roughly written hand.

^. in the oldest hands presents much the same form as in Edessene
Estrangela, but it was afterwards written with less slope, and with a hooked
top, assuming ultimately such a form as £..

A In (a) the thick down stroke is at times almost perpendicular, at times
slightly sloped; the loop which springs from the top curving to the left and
joining the down stroke about half-way. This loop is of medium thickness
throughout.

In (b) the tendency to slope the down stroke is more pronounced, while

1 Cf. Land, § 10, p. 213, who erroneously takes jj as the earlier form. The form exhibited
in Table VI— Wright, Plate XVIII, seems to vary between (b) and (c).

PALESTINIAN HANDWRITING. 105

the lower half of the loop has lost its thickness and become a fine, straight
stroke (^) ; but (with the exception of some examples in the Numbers fragment)
the loop does not curve round to be horizontal, as in Edess. A .

In (c) and (d) the lower half of the loop has disappeared entirely and we get
the form ^.

The other letters apparently afforded less scope for any marked change ;
at least we find but little variation in their forms in the later MSS. The main
point of difference to be observed, is that the later scribes no longer pay the same
heed to distinctions between the thick and thin strokes, nor are they so careful to
observe that regularity and squareness of form which is so strongly marked in the
earlier MSS. Thus rn originally presented a perfectly square character and had
the appearance of having been written between two lines. In the later MSS. both
the horizontal connecting stroke and the down strokes assume a curved form,
and in many cases the letter falls below the level of those in its immediate
vicinity. ^£ in the oldest MSS. consists of two curves drawn from the right and
from the left to the point of meeting in the line itself. Later the point of meeting
is above the line, and the two curves are then continued in a thick down stroke,

(1) There can hardly be any doubt then, that if the N. T. fragments are to be
assigned to the sixth century, the Exodus fragment cannot be placed earlier than
the eighth, possibly the ninth century. The Wisdom fragment seems to be
somewhat earlier than that of Numbers, and they may be respectively assigned to
the end of the sixth and the beginning of the seventh century.

(2) In the Job fragment several letters1, especially -^, *»> «j, and .^,
exhibit the characteristics of the oldest hands.

(3) In the Homilies .^and A have distinctly the oldest forms, jj resembles
the same letter in Exodus, while ^. has a slight incipient curve, very suggestive
of the later form. But these are the only features which would incline us to
assign a later date to the MS. of the Homilies. The general appearance of the
writing, whether seen in the tracing, or, in the reduced form, in the photographs
taken by Mrs. Bensly2, is that of a large, well- formed, ancient hand, in marked
contrast to the smaller, rude, and cursive hand of the latest specimens. We are
also told (see p. 47 n.) that ' the vellum of the MS. was very white and fine.'

1 As shown in a photograph now before us; see p. 39 supra.

2 See p. 47 supra. In examining the Plate, it should be remembered, that the unevenness of
the lines is due to the state of the leaves when the negatives were taken.

O [II. 9.]

106 PALESTINIAN HANDWRITING.

MSS. of great antiquity, such as the Codex Curetontanus, when they have been
carefully preserved, retain their whiteness in a remarkable degree, and fineness of
texture would seem everywhere to be a property of the material employed in the
earliest times \

These independent observations confirm the opinion which Mr. Burkitt has
expressed, as to the great antiquity of his own fragment (pp. 39, 49 sup.), and
the somewhat later, though still early date of the MS. of the Homilies.

It should perhaps have been more clearly pointed out in the above discussion,
that the material at our disposal for judging the different forms of the letters, is by
no means equally divided. For the period represented by the New Testament
fragments we possess, in the Bodleian Library, four palimpsest leaves in a splendid
state of preservation, in which the under writing or Palestinian Syriac is, for the
most part, particularly clear and legible; this is due in a large measure to the
peculiar reddish-brown colour assumed by the writing, which prevents it from
being confused with the later upper writing. The Wisdom fragment, on the other
hand, is exceedingly faint and has quite lost its colour ; here our only means
of judging its age, are (a) the regularity and evenness of the writing, and (6) the
forms of the individual letters. The Exodus fragment has, at any rate, one point
of contact with those of the N. T., viz. its colouring, which enables us, in this case
also, to clearly distinguish the two writings. The absence of any appeal to the
writing of the small Kings fragment, is due to the fact that these verses were only
transcribed, since any attempt at photographing them would have proved futile.
The fragment, however, is probably one of the oldest that has yet come to light ;
the writing, it is true, was neither so large, nor so bold as that of the N. T.
fragments, but it was remarkably regular and well formed, nor could any traces of
later forms be detected by the transcriber.

Additions and Corrections.

[In the Introduction to our former publication (p. xi), we confessed that a few words and
letters still remained uncertain. Mr. Stenning, who has now acquired considerable familiarity
with Palestinian Syriac MSS., has lately made a fresh collation of the Bodleian Fragments, and
suggests a number of emendations. It will be seen that many of these relate to diacritical points
and stops, which do not affect the sense ; but we have to thank him for several readings, which
are distinct improvements on those which we edited. — G. H. G.]

Page 8, 1. 6. ^] ^, as in 1 Thess. i. 2, p. 11, 1. 13, and note. On close
examination, the diacritic point over the resh is clearly decipherable ; the phrase
A.\aas corresponding in each case to the Greek ndvroTe. Noldeke (p. 489,
foot-note) takes «^. as an abbreviation of v^; hence «^.^aao = 7^7-07?. The
double occurrence of i.i* not *x in this old fragment rather points to the former
being the original reading, which was afterwards misread as •J**. The etymology
of ;-**, however, must remain uncertain; cf. Schwally, p. 71.
